+1 to Jeff and Superman...

And just a minor point about "the physicians skill was learned in school" point....

Where did the brain, the intelligence, the physical dexterity come from? Who caused the surgeon to be born into a situation where he could take advantage of those skills and talents? Who kept him from being hit by that school bus when he wasn't paying attention one afternoon?

I think if we realize that we have been given a set of skills or talents, and we are expected to use them to do good in this world, starting at home, then we may begin to knock down the "me" generation that is the scourge of our times.
