The question isn't why we didn't repair our neighbor's roof (I wouldn't know how either), but why we didn't invite them to sleep at our house while theirs was flooding.

What's this "we" business? I'd definitely invite my neighbours in if their house was flooded and they were out of options. I pay more than 50% tax when all is told. What's wrong with you?
I used "we" to reflect we as a society, as the original article was noting a the general decline of cooperation.
Sorry if I misread you. Unfortunately your comment found harmony with a prevalent libertarian chorus.
Ah, the first downvotes of the day start at 8am Pacific Time. Go figure.
