16. IMO instead of judging on a basis of good and evil the call should be
based on selfish intent. Some enlightened people tend to promote selfish acts that include the welfare of everyone while most people think of selfish as just for themselves. True functional selfishness needs to meet the test of working for the entire society or the person promoting the selfish act will most likely inadvertently destroy the system that is essential to his own well being. Commonly called shooting your self in the foot. Bush seems to be very adept at doing this. Bush's crackpot ideas about how to change our government have destroyed his political capital that gave him his swagger, what could be worse for him?
