The general theme is purpose "the purpose of life." The purpose of any lifeform, or at least the outcome after competition and selection, is furtherance of life. Whether genotype or phenotype, whether actual instance of a lifeform or the DNA.
The purpose of a U.S. politician is to be reelected. Nothing else matters. So the politician will say anything he has to say to be reelected. And he will spend money that is not his own to be reelected.
I'm sure Tim has read this, but maybe some people havent. http://generalsystemantics.com/Systemantics.htm The Postal Service is alive, too. All systems are.
