Re: If memory serves. . . .

What I got out of it was that she loathed people who who did not deliver what was paid for and conducted business dishonestly. Also, that there really is no such thing as true altruism... you pay for whatever you get.... a feeling of pride, a feeling that you are a good person, a bid for salvation, to relieve our own pain at seeing someone else's plight. You could basically boil the 50 page John Galt speech in Atlas Shrugged down to "for value recieved". Performaing an act of charity is paying for some intangable emotional response we get from doing it so preforming an act of charity is really a selfish act if you look beneath all the white-wash.
