which doesn't make it right in any way - caring only about "me", "now", and not "us" and "tomorrow"

Or in other words - it explains it, but doesn't justify it. We as mankind can do better

The problem is that people don't really exist as a "We, mankind"... we exist as various competing nations and other divided groups. It's laughable to think that what's good for "We, mankind" in the US is somehow good for "We, mankind" in North Africa, or China, or India.
