en I confess that altruistic and cynically selfish talk seem to me about equally unreal.

If your neighbor came out swinging a gun at you, you wouldn't feel safe in your neighborhood. But if you're going to have a neighbor's dog... come out and run you down, that's not any more right than a neighbor waving a gun in your face -- especially if they know it's a dangerous dog.
