Random Thoughts

Human beings were not designed to sit around and do nothing.Do that long enough and madness will follow as sure as day follows night.But deciding what to do can be vexing and problematic especially if you live in a society such as ours with so much choice.You could end up like the mythical donkey who went to a banquet,saw so much food,couldn't decide what to eat and died of hunger. So, many people are threatened by choice.As Thatcher once said quoting someone or other 'freedom entails responsibility -that's why many people fear it'. Quite so. They are attracted to Socialism because it tells them what to do -just as some people deliberately offend so they will be sent to jail where they no longer have to make any decisions.Socialism is a sort of penitentiary where the State makes all the decisions for you and all you have to do is go through the motions.

For anyone with any spirit this Socialism is a living death,but to many people it is a balm.Sixty years of being told what to do by the state has reduced this nation to a sorry state indeed. As Mr Field the iconoclast of the left has said this week New Labour has done nothing to reverse the dependency culture and in fact has fostered it. We now have defacto 3 million unemployed: the official one million, another million on disability allowance (who by this governement's own admission should really be working),plus the million useless government public sector employees Gordon has hired. All these people vote labour.As I have said before they have really forfeited their right to vote.
