    Gluttony

    I found this quite interesting the other day: BBC iPlayer - Off the Page: Glut

    No mater how you look at it gluttony is at the route of most modern life problems whether its fat lazy feckers or greedy ****** bankers.
    Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson

            Aren't all IT contractors philanthropic socialists?

            I bought a copy of the Big Issue last week.

            It had a 2 for 1 offer in it.

              "the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil" - hardly a new sentiment.

                I don't think they are, I would imagine most on here would fall into the 'traditional capitalist' category which 'city boy' talks about on the show if you listen.

                Not really the same as the Gordon Gekko 'greed is good' ****** bankers IMO.

                    Because unlike you and the bankers, freelancers have real skills to sell.
