Mekun: You seem to suggest  we should remove "greed" from the list of sins and substitute "compassion."

  Assisting others in their time of need is, IMO, not an act of condescension as you deem it, but rather an act of human decency.  

You would, it seems, favor a society based on "benign neglect".....an exercise in social Darwinism with no interference from those pesky liberals.  I will continue to help others when they need it and I can help.  I will continue to accept help from others when I need it and they can help.  It's a concept we liberals call "community" and, yes, indeed,  it is a cornerstone of liberal ideology.  Gary Crum
