Most upper end predators (and we're at the top of the list) have at least some concept of "mine".
Actually, most advanced social animals (humans included) have an even more important concept, "ours." The cognition that without the ability to provide for the group the individual cannot exist.
Obviously you read into everything - I stated, you asked, I didn't respond to that. If you have no idea what they are, since to you it's greed and a pretty crappy explanation and narrowminded - and I never insinuated who you voted for.
it's people like you that easily can be sampled for the explanation of why this country is in the ditch. You remove any possibility of ethics, pride, etc from the equation. I'll remember the next time I go visit my mother it's because I'm motivated by greed......
amazing since you are such a genius lets see if you can guess the word that completes the sentence about you that is in my mind.... if you guessed moron or idiot give yourself a gold star....... I'm done with your BS. I have no time for the clueless.

I'd suggest you re-read what you just wrote since it supports exactly what I just said. It goes back to self preservation even according to your own argument.
I don't know about you but I'm not discussing the definition of greed but the nature of greed. Apparently you missed that so I just thought I'd remind you.
Secessionists and revolutionaries are an example of Bad Greed. They don't want to share the country with people of opposing views. From what I can tell, they have no idea that Utopia cannot be found in a world of like-minded people who all agree with them.
"Mine, mine, mine, mine..." they shout in shrill vioces.

This is only true in relatively small tribal communities. Animals care not what happens outside of their tribe, and will often eat the other tribes' lunch when necessary, ergo the "greed". The one important thing to remember is that tribe size does not scale, similar to how mainframes fail miserably when a large amount of nodes are connected to this centralized and socialized form of computing. The fact that socialized countries are amassing significant deficits and are ultimately self-defeating is evidence of this. The Roman Empire, for example, failed because of the transition from Republic to Social Democracy.

I know it is ours, but let me get mine first and I'll save you a little piece....
There is always a totem pole theory with everything on earth, including dirt and rocks.
If your on the bottom of the totem pole, your only going to get a little tiny bit.
that would be YOUR interpretation. got a lot - have no need for people like yourself.
