    Re: "It means they don't have to pick up their garbage..."
    By introducing the term "responsibility" in that line's loaded shadow
    you create a context that suggests some lofty posthumous judgment-call,
    perhaps by St. Peter at the foot of some mythical pearly gates? The
    absence of which I understood you to be lamenting in a reality that
    lacked an afterlife.

    Also, every motive for your actions and mine is a selfish one.

    Just trying to understand you.

    Best regards,

    Chuck
