OT: Welfare state morality

This framework approaches the truth, but sometimes they separate. Surely, you've lost control at one point or another: my smashing the machines wasn't really a loss of control, it was pretty much voluntary. The smashing of cars isn't losing control: it is just that these people are so frustrated that they don't care anymore. I know that it's difficult to sympathize with feelings that you aren't experiencing, but try anyway. I don't recall eating bread machine bread. I'm sure that you've tasted the soft sliced white sponges that bear the name of 'bread' around here. I haven't eaten those for a long time, I always eat real bread made somewhat in keeping with Slavic/Russian recipies, made in a New York factory. It may not be as good as bread in Europe, but it's better than what most people eat. --Max Eskin (max82(a)surfree.com) http://scivault.hypermart.net: Ignorance is Impotence - Knowledge is Power
