The point I was making....

[John Galt]

As my little rant now seems to be spanning 2 threads I thought I would start another one. What I was objecting to is the constant bleat from NL and socialist types that anyone who has made a success of their life is 'greedy' or 'selfish'. IMHO, and no doubt I will be stoned or stabbed for this opinion, you only get one life - why should you live it for someone else. Don't get me wrong I would never hurt anyone who had done nothing to hurt me but I will not get sucked into the 'you should look after those less fortunate that yourself' malarky. Why should I? OK it's really un-pc but why should I?

I don't profess to work harder than anyone else (let's face it if I did I wouldn't be on here talking to you lot) but I do resent NL's attempts to make me feel guilty for earning a good living.

Dons hard hat and takes cover.

Aye John

I think WH Audens take on this was

We are here on Earth to do good to others. What the others are here for, I don't know.

W. H. Auden
US (English-born) critic & poet (1907 - 1973)

Im going for a wee lie down ...

[John Galt]

Perhaps we should all just lie down together

[mcquiggd]

I don't think Daleks can lie down.....
