24. Wanna see a "world owes me everything" attitude? Look at the RULING CLASS
Edited on Tue Aug-26-03 06:45 PM by Vitruvius
-- Bu$h*, the Rethugnicans, and the fast-track management bums at almost any Fortune 500 company.

Lose the election? Daddy's buddies on the Supreme Court will put you in. Or -- in industry -- Mr. Whippersnapper Whitebread the fast-track boy mismanages his department & fails to meet his deliverables? No problem. His buddies in top management will fire & blacklist somebody who made a breakthru on a shoestring, give young Mr. Whitebread the credit and promote him.

So the "world owes me a living" attitude might be seeping down from the top to those on the bottom? I'm not surprised. But those at the top leech a hell of a lot more out of society than the few bad apples at the bottom ever will.

P.S. JanMichael's 'humane eugenics program' (post 5) has a certain appeal -- but if and only if it's applied first to the bums at the top. Which will never never happen.

Which is one more reason I'm against eugenics programs of any kind -- they're always applied to the wrong people.
