Nicely put! Gordon Gecko, the main character in the movie "Wall Street" said:
"Greed works. Greed is good"
My mother even once said: "There is nothing wrong with want as long as you have some sense about it. Without want you would sit around with no drive to succeed and ultimately, accomplish nothing."
I have my own wants and desires just like anyone else but I also think its important to help others in need as you can.
Back to the Columbine kids. In my high shcool there were these kids that wore black trench coats and were majorly obsessed with computers. They caught some crap from the mainstreamers as I remember. I myself was somewhat removed from the mainstream and happy about it. I was one of the biggest kids in my high school so I didn't get messed with. I had a girlfriend and a job and got good grades, so I didn't need to play football to try and get laid. I'm glad none of those kids went postal in my school!
