Is that's what you call an old fashoined ideal?

Er, no, never said that.

You can see where it's got the USA today (greed and selfishness)

There was a time, not so very long ago, when, with every striking of the
hour by Big Ben, the British Ensign was being raised at dawn somewhere in
the world.

Then the British abandoned greed and selfishness.

Today, with every tick of the atomic clock at the National Bureau of
Standards, Microsoft Windows is booting up somewhere in the world (often for
the fourth time today).

Thanks to greed and selfishness.
