Gotta admire Dagenham Dave and Little Gideon over this. One step closer to being able to knout a few peasants and force the unwashed up chimneys.

We used to look after our village idiots in Merrie Englande: now those we don't elect to parliament get turfed off the dole pretty damn quick. I do love our nation's take on Christian Charity. Oh well, we're all going to hell anyway.

Go well and do good things, for no other purpose than the good thing in itself and of itself.

Well maybe a version of Montaigne who had read Teilhard.

I think you just added injury to insult. :)
