I was having this "people are inherently good/bad" argument with a friend of mine... I took him to a casino. Despite the fact that the casinos are obviously making money (which means most of the people pulling handles on the machines are saps, and even willing dupes), enough people buy into it to make the casinos work.
If you want to follow Tit-for-Tat in the Prisoner's Dilemma that is our society, best of luck. I think people are inherently evil, and I know religion doesn't help (it's just more rules). The only solution I see is some kind of outside intervention (Jesus and His sacrificial death on the cross, and His resurrection from the dead).
