The meaning of life...?

I've always wondered if the true drive behind all human actions is 'desire for sex' or 'desire for power'. This is an obviously oversimplified theory eliminating tons of other desires that humans acquire depending on how they were raised, etc...but the base of it is more or less the same.
Here is a tragic example of one who's 'desire for sex' lead to a tragic end. How can we even help people like this when they suffer in silence. It is an interesting glimpse into the head of one driven to murder.

Greed Nation 1

Greed in the United States certainly isn't new but it has been taken to new heights in the past few years. The country with the largest economy, over 11 trillion GDP, has been brought to its knees by the greed of the banking system that supports it. Their reward - our tax dollars wrapped in a red, white and blue bow to save them. The vicious circle of co-dependency between banks and the peasants they feed on is renewed and safe.
This will be the first of many posts that will illustrate just how our country, more than ever before, has become a "Greed Nation" or the United $tates of America.
