In the meantime any chance of a glass or two of that cooking sherry you seem to be testing?

The pendulum of responsibility, however, has swung too far away from them and now a living can be had without responsibility. This needs to change, but you will never co-opt the slackers without first embracing them.<br />I have no high hopes it will work, but I am prepared, on a limited time basis, for a once-only effort to re-order our entire social contract.

Sadly it never will because you have made a fundamental mistake, you think all others are decent right thinking people like you and they are not. A significant minority in our society are selfish, idle takers who have no respect for anyone or anything and they have no intention of ever pulling their weight. They will take and take and raise their demands ever higher and higher until the time comes when you just have to say no, then everything they do will be your fault.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
