I admit I did it. I am sorry. I feel sick at the thought: <I don't think they'll be sorry. Because they won't admit they did it. In the end, they'll be trying to lay it off on others, > Forty years ago when young and naive I remember thinking it would be a good idea for governments to provide charity to avoid the problem of knowing who the heck was getting it and who wasn't so that experts in getting charity wouldn't score big while others were left with nothing.

It didn't take long for me to figure out that governments do a much worse job of being good samaritans than good samaritans do.

But, I did think it and voted along those lines as part of a bundle of generally socialist ideas. So, the child and infant murders, maimings and brutality which are a daily part of the New Zealand scene are in part my fault for supporting the idea of giving people money for nothing but having possession of children and an unwillingness to do anything useful for anyone.
Not much intelligent discussion so far: section59.blogspot.com

The road to Hell is paved with good intentions.

If the "guardians" of those hostage children were getting no money, they would put the children out for adoption really fast. Their feet wouldn't touch the ground before they were on the street.

I also thought it would be more efficient to have single suppliers such as one bus company. It seemed silly to have two buses driving along the same road trying to get customers.

It was not long that I was working before I realized just how lazy and useless so many people are and how good competition is in providing choice of supplier to avoid the hopeless, lazy and greedy.

Hopefully there will be a swing back towards Virtuous Victorian Values and warnings of the seven deadly temptations which have all gone out of fashion in recent decades. One swallow doesn't make a summer, but I'm tweeting...
