[QUOTE="DrWazzock, post: 4830192, member: 2119"] There is a bit of a point though in the argument that when just a few people corner the limited assets of the land, what do they expect everybody else to do? Go and crawl under a stone presumably? We look at all the people on run down inner city estates rife with drugs and crime and we say "look at those feckless lazy barstewards" and in some cases we are right but in other cases they have simply run out of options for gainful employment, a purpose or meaning in life.The continued concentration of the very limited assets of the earth into the hands of the super rich few is not helping that situation. Truth is we have millions of what used to be labouring, small business or enterprise families on the scrap heap now. I used to live amongst them in Manchester. Luckily I had an education and a well paid job but many had debts they could never clear and wages that left sweet FA after paying their rent and living costs. Drugs and alcohol became a sort of anaesthetic to them. Its easy to please to yourself if you don't think of others. Would I want another 200 acres? No thanks. I have enough to do here. Why would I want more money? I have had flash motors and all that bent and shiny tin but it never brought happiness. None of that brings happiness and then we die. What's the point of amassing a fortune that deprives others of a livelihood? The whole of society is so fudged up its unbelievable. Nobody is satisfied with their lot. A new car, a new wife, a new house, and still its not right or its not enough. Bollox to all of that. Have a pint and be happy. [/QUOTE]
