Just completed reading "The Fountainhead" for the first time and was intrigued by the following quote which appears atop of page 683 of Signet's Centenial addition ...

"... Every major horror of history was committed in the name of an altruistic motive. ..."

My question to fellow Gulchers is can you name one that didn't have 'altruism' as its basis? I can't, and that is why I am asking ... Its an excellent point to ponder.
