good hearts and will donate money or offer some food here and there, but Griffin doesn’t fit into that equation.

will defend Lapham’s point of America’s faith in money by a great length of deed. To be blunt, the essence of the human nature is defined and driven by greed. It is our single prepossessing feature; this avarice serves as our salvation and our ultimate damnation.
