Not ready to sacrifice my life.

You gotta wonder what motivates the Japanese workers that keep returning to the nuclear power plants. On suicide missions. Maybe they should be admired. For sacrificing their lives in an attempt to save other lives. Now that’s what I call serving the greater good of society. I’d personally find it difficult, if not impossible, to do that. I’d want to save my own hide. Yet I advocate serving the common good. Which may make me a hypocrite. I want government-funded and private-funded programs to help the poor and the unfortunate. But sacrificing my life for the cause – well, that’s another thing. –Jim Broede
