Nobody is 100% for themselves or 100% for others but noose defending the homeless. Again, maybe signifying nothing but interesting to me nonetheless.

I seriously doubt there is as huge a delineation between the two groups as you are stating here. All people take care of their own needs first, from the basic "survival" level, up. If they don't do this, they are not a functional human being. This does not make them selfish or bad people, because they "care about themselves first".
I appreciate that you're saying one school of thought is not above the other in this matter. Whether you agree with someone's rhetoric here (I can't say I follow Jordon's clearly passionate thoughts on the matter), people have arrived at their opinion in their own way.
