Altruism: A regard for others as a principle for action. (OED)
Extracted from a posting by Richard North, on EUReferendum, on the subject of Ayn Rand and her book 'Atlas Shrugged', I quote the following:
"Finally we come to those well-meaning agents of altruism, the governments who take money away from those who work in order to impose what they see as a fair society, which just happens to be a society in which the elite has more and more entrenched privileges than the rest of us; the regulators who, in the spirit of pure altruism and paid for by the taxpayer, regulate our lives for our own good; and, finally and most importantly, the NGOs who demand more and more unaccountable power for themselves in order to run the world or various parts of it for what they see as other people’s benefits, destroying people’s lives and all hope in developing countries."
Yup - thats the Obamas, Browns, Merkels, Sarkozys, etc, etc and EU all told what we don't like about their 'system'!
