I agree that self-interest is a great motivator. It's the engine behind
progress in the human condition. But I'm puzzled by your statement
that ends with "keeping their own family safe." I would hope my
community would "pin you to the wall" if you threatened me and my
family. Your personal freedom doesn't mean that you are free to
endanger someone in your community.
