"Bootstraps" is your answer to their distress. "Take ours," is the answer you are happy - eager - to give people who are really just a vague concept of humanity - not humanity itself, up close and in your life.

Yours is the humanitarianism of show, of theater. Your sympathies lack the authenticity to be sustained in the world of face to face contact. But you can have nice "feelings" for a bunch of **** chinamen you'll never meet -and that makes you a regular Albert Schweitzer, a very liberal fellow in doling out your shallow affections and your nation's treasure.

Not that reality ever gets in the way of a psychotic, I did business for almost 20 years in 3rd World countries and at least once traveled on a bus with their kids, chickens and goats.

And I sat across from struggling business people of modest income and drove a moderately hard but fair bargain. I could have squeezed a lot harder, but didn't.

I never once in eighteen years drove such a hard bargain that they were unhappy. I always left room for them to make a decent margin.

That's what you claim is "humanitarianism of show, of theater...about people you'll never meet."

That lacks the authenticity to be sustained in the world of face to face contact."

So once again, your deep,twisted psychosis is stronger than factual reality.
