The reason I told the story about my rescue by a bus driver from the snowbank (yes, yes, I should have spelled it out – we artsies sometimes speak in riddles) – is to say that, among humans, altruism can never be reduced to mere Darwinism. |

The rest of the story:
| Quote | Toronto, CA
Police were called to a street in downtown Toronto today, when the passengers of a cross-town bus, collectively rose up, and in an unusual show of group unity, threw another women passenger into a snow bank.
The woman, identified as one Denyse O’Leary, address and occupation unknown, was at first thought by police on the scene to have been viciously assaulted, but it was later discovered that, as one observer reported, “her obvious gruesomeness” was her normal appearance.
Upon investigation by the Toronto PD, it was also discovered that Ms. O’Leary was thrown into the snow bank quite deliberately, after she had begun to read aloud from what she later indicated was one of her own articles about a little-known subject called “coffee and design”. As one of the vigilante riders put it, ”Well, what was we supposed to do then, eh? I’ve faced down terrorists before, but nothin’ quite as bad as that awful screechin’ sound. Another rider continued, “What are we paying the bloody coppers for then, if not to protect us from the likes of that?”
After reading what Ms. O’Leary had written, an officer that wished to remain anonymous reported, “It wasn’t making any sense at tall, and to be bloody honest, I would have pulled my club out and beat her severely for spouting that nonsense”. The unfortunate buss driver that eventually pulled Ms. O’Leary from the snow bank, was later excoriated for his actions by the angry citizens, and was reported to have been seen sobbing and repeating “I didn’t mean to do it, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to do it.” He was last seen leaving for the US, and as this reporter notes, “good riddance to bad rubbish”.

I wouldn't be bothered reading about the selfish gene because it has never been identified. -- Denyse O'Leary, professional moron
Again "how much". I don't think that's a good way to be quantitative.-- gpuccio
