I've heard that Straw Man before.
"Redistribute the wealth more equitably and the same people will end up with more than anyone else." The first myth (the prime directive myth of capitalism?) would likely yield those results. We're too fscked at this point. Too many McDonald's, too much MTV, too many cars, too many ads, too much incessant bizness propaganda, too much fear, too much xenophobia, too little thought ..., there's just no savin' it. But that doesn't mean it's human nature.

It would seem, therefore, that the three human impulses embodied in religion are fear, conceit, and hatred. The purpose of religion, one might say, is to give an air of respectibility to these passions. -- Bertrand Russell
