Funny. I don't see how your suggested replacements work at all. Or
even make sense. Maybe you should rewrite the quote, using one of
your replacements, and provide a paragraph or two or three of
analysis and argument. Then Ian and I might have something we can
respond to.
As it stands, your post is dismissive in tone, and meaningless.
To make it easy for you, here's the quote:
"The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises
in moral philosophy: that is the search for a superior moral
justification for selfishness." - John Kenneth Galbraith
Thanks,
