Yes, William, I expect more. But I have to admit that when people are afraid 
for their livelihoods, they do tend to act against the "greater good" if it 
will help their own individual circumstances. That's why I think it's so 
important to make sure our systems and institutions are designed to harness 
human nature to increase the "greater good".

BTW, I tried emailing you earlier today, but got an undeliverable thingy 
back from your address.
