I'm able to contain my ego.

I think that in some ways I'm egocentric. Because I put a lot of emphasis on the individual. The ability of the individual to control his own destiny. To create his own reality. In so many, many ways. And to control his attitude. But on the other hand, from a political point of view, I'm for a society that serves the common good. Yes, at some point, we have to put restraints on the interests of the individual in order to best serve the whole of society. I'd make a good socialist. And I'd tend to denigrate the greedy capitalist. I'm outspoken on political, social and economic issues. Which might make me seem a bit egocentric...and not so humble. But really, I'm able to contain my ego. --Jim Broede
