Hello Gav
I was just humoring Platt a little, can you say sarcasm?
My point to Platt was: Forget socialism, communism and bleeding heart
liberalism. If you choose not take care of your fellow man on
humanitarian grounds, you have to do it so they won't rebel and cut off
you head.
Look not everyone is a leader, and some just choose to just live. But if
you happen to be in a leadership position, DO THE RIGHT THING.
Except for modern dentistry, medicine, and certain working conditions,
the quality of life in the last 200 years has not really improved.
Just a bigger rat race, at a faster rate and a species refusing to adapt.
You would enjoy reading Jerry Mander's " In the absence of the sacred:
The failure of technology and the rise of the Indian nations"
His first book " Four arguments for the illimination of television" is
worth looking into
