   Nah, you just have be be a little… creative.. in your altruism. Prototypical example: “Allow me to spare you the moral agony and social stigma of *munch* taking the last piece of bread *munch* *munch*”

   “creative” altruism is a very, very old running joke in my family, and it lost its humor long ago.

   Sick and tired of all the negative, cruel self centered radio ads, me, me, me comments I see on the internet. All my my professional career I put my people first and they took care of me. Retired early at 58 from Alaska goverment transit postion and enjoy the fruits of my labor.America needs to go back to the values of yore.

   There’s no room for creativity in ethics. But there’s plenty room for creatively avoiding its application.. not that that’s always irrational!

   When pure altruism fails…compromise. ‘Let’s split it chum.’
