Because you either have or affect to have an indifference towards
others that if real is quite unhealthy.

Not indifference exactly, but I believe in "The Invisible Hand" theory
that if everyone does what is best* for himself, society as a whole will
prosper.

Right up there with the Easter Bunny when it comes to beliefs that ignore
reality.

The jerks on Wall St. who made millions for themselves making reckless
investments which steered their companies into the ground which helped to
trash the whole economy, which part of this invisible hand do they
represent?

The drug companies that conceal studies showing their products have
dangerous side-effects, the companies that import and sell toxic drywall
from China, Ford not recalling Pintos because it was cheaper to pay off the
families of Pinto drivers who burned to death, the guy who makes money
selling meth down the street from your kids' school and so on down the
line--they're all taking care of themselves, yet somehow the claim that
society is improved by their activities rings hollow.

As for the view that maybe a soldier committing suicide after his fourth or
fifth deployment to Afghanistan and a lack of psychological help from the
Army might be a good thing, try telling that story at the funeral of such a
soldier. Talking such trash is easy online, isn't it. Not so easy in the
real world.
