I was very intruiged by a previous question about the world ending. It got me thinking, many people have alterior motives. Such as Andrew Jackson, did he put the cherokees through the Trail of Tears becasue he wanted to save them from the Georgians, or did he move them because he was racist. Also, im sure many other people had alterior motives toward what they did, like Hitler, Stalin, Martin Luther King Jr. I'm not attempting to be biases here, so don't immediatly assume that i think hitler is a racist bastard, because im a Jewe. And don't i hate Stalin because he's a communist bastard, because im Russian. Im not black though, that would just be weird. A black, jewish, russian guy? Anyway, back to the question, many people chose alterior motives, but why is that? Is it for self-benefit (which is whati beleive is the main reason), is it for society, or is it just so they can have something for themselves and only themselves? Take as long as you want to answer, ill read it all.
You mean "Ulterior Motives". Meaning the real purpose doesn't show on the surface. Hitler WAS a racist bastard. I think Andrew Jackson moved the Cherokees because he wanted their land. Yeah, it's basically just seft benefit.

Thank you. You answered how I would have answered myself, by being a smartass. And yes, on the surface he was, but hey, thats why they're called "ulterior motives", so hitler could have one.
