Editor:

What is the genesis of greed?  What is the antithesis of greed? 

We can explore these questions together. I read a letter to the editor in the current (Dec. 9) North Coast Journal — the only letter to the editor — in which Martin Smukler is thanked for his letter. He is quoted as saying, "We only have to look at the arts and humanities and our tremendous technological prowess to realize the potential of good within us."

Yes, please on realizing the potential of human goodness. 

I saw a form of human goodness when I sipped at Salt restaurant in downtown Arcata. Ooo-la-la, Haute Cuisine. I hope you can get a reservation! Bon Appetite!
