Reform Policies

[Highway Man]

Some time ago, I can't remember when, I decided to put the organ grinder and his monkey on ignore, on the basis that their contributions were pointless and a waste of space.
Occasionally, as is my MO, I review my actions, in all spheres, to see if they are still justified.
Seeing Noseall's comment, I thought now's a good a time as any to review my actions to see if they were still justified.
I've never been so convinced, about any of my actions, that I was justified.

You havent the intellect to converse with me you fruitcake. So you feel it safer to not reply than to look silly.

Naming no names here, I assure you. Just thinking about the British public in general.
It appears to me that we are, and probably always have been, a disunited country. That can be both good and bad. The good thing is that it ensures different opinions which I think must be a good thing in that we can look at both sides of an argument. The bad thing arises when we really have need to have a united country if we are to protect it.
Arguing, or discussing, can be useful in order to examine all alternatives.
Agreeing and uniting is the best way to help our country, and ourselves, to progress and improve.
I think the important thing is to avoid jumping on what immediately appears to suit our own ideas, but instead to seriously consider not what is best for 'me', but what is best for the country as a whole - which includes 'me'.
Unfortunately, not all people can detach from their own set opinons and take a look at the general situation for ourselves as a whole.

Altruism is fine so long as it nearly coincides with self-interest.
The degree to which individual;s are prepared to, or will, intentionally or unintentionally, camouflage their own self-interest, and claim it's "in their own interest", varies enormously.

I think that is where the dilemma lies. Some perceive other's claim to altruism as really camouflaged self interest.

Altruism is just a word to make folk feel good about themselves: "There are no good deeds."

"There are no good deeds."

I never got into that, the bits I saw were never worth watching, but there are some good bits, if you're prepared to wait. I find that much the same with all American sitcoms.
Maybe I was always too busy for second rate sitcoms, or my tastes have or are changing.
