We are not always trying to help others. Take this latest firestorm over Propostion 8. Is that about "helping others"? Mostly it is from GLBT people or their close friends. That's about "helping themselves". There is not nearly that much passion, with some noteable exceptions, for the homeless or the working class. The fact that the Democratic Congress finally managed to raise the minimum wage was widely dismissed as "not a big deal". Not that I am any better, because a large part of my concern for the working class and the poor is because "If there is a lower class, I am in it."
