It's amazing how heated the discussions around this get. It seems to me that somehow things always boil down to this:
Is the purpose of society for us to work together and help each other out so that everyone does better? Or is the purpose of society to provide a way for us to get what we want? In other words, do we co-operate or do we compete?
Each of those is an unprovable belief -- but if you believe one and you're talking to someone who believes the other, then you aren't going to see eye to eye on an awful lot of things....
