2. There is more to do than run the economy. If I did nothing but make money, my life would be a wasted life (-- Charlie Munger).

Everybody else knows that, and you won't admit it, so why do I bother?
This is where the Tories are so different to New Lie. New Lie always believe that to improve things you have to spend money. That is simply not true, because with good ideas improvements can be made and money can also be saved at the same time.Comment

...I've thought for a long time that if I resurrected my campaign and did it for real, we'd win by a landslide.Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God? - EpicurusComment
