Entry: A Theory of the Interventionist Class Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/a_theory_of_the_interventionist_class#25298 Post contents: <em>I wish it were true that we could simply act in our own self-interest without any further moral justification than the desire to survive and prosper, but the reality we face in trying to convince Americans to look out for their own is that most Americans are good people who feel empathy for all mankind and they thus need a stronger moral justification to act in their self-interest when that self-interest conflicts with the interests of others.</em> I think that's true for the elites, rather than most Americans. The average American cares more about the roads in their town being clean than then worst killing in Sub-Sahara Africa. Sent at: 2008 07 24
