Quote from logic_man:

Want to know how I learned to be "selfish and self-serving"?

By watching what people do, not what they say. I'm very observant like that.

couple of billion years of evolution and you should be right on top, just like the people in highly decorative costumns skating through Central Park.

You ever think about just being happy for the day? Even though it makes no longterm evolutionary sense? And may even contiribute to the demise of your species?

oh that's right, you don't care about your species, you only care about yourself.

what I can't understand is, if you care so much about yourself, and no one else, why do you not care if you are happy? It seems that would be your most highest concern. Yet you do almost nothing which is generally accepted that makes normal human beings happy. Like caring and taking care of others. Or at the very least, like I do, caring for birds and possumns and worms.

It only takes a bag of sunflower seeds, a bag of catfood and some banannas. Plus, you don't have to deal with dispicable human beings, but you still feel good about yourself because you are helping someone you perceive to be less fortunate.

So how come helping someone does not make you feel good?

Have you never felt good when someone helped you?

And what's so bad about feeling good?

And if you were normal, would you like Doris Day?

logic man, may I suggest Howard Zinn's "A People's History of the United States," as worthwhile reading.
