Today I harbour nothing but contempt for those who find themselves anywhere to the right of centre - I really do. What I believe they have done masterfully for centuries now is presented this 'justifiable and gentle' ideology as cover for the naked greed which underpins it (but which had to be obscured lest we saw through it). However its bastard children are not as content to hide their lights beneath a bushel as their forefathers - they are so impatient, so impertinent, so greedy, so self centred that their greed is now displayed openly as though there's 'nothing wrong' with that.<br /><br />I feel the time has arrived when I must rise from my slumber and get myself into trouble all over again. I really thought it was a baton I had passed on to my own kids - but today's world needs all hands on deck. I never thought I'd view the right as an illness - it is though - it's a cancer which not only kills people, but claims the planet too.<br /><br />RoryRory Granthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00866390949954081901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8744889144101573638.post-88261044369001200742011-07-22T21:08:12.286-04:002011-07-22T21:08:12.286-04:00:D I'm so proud of my family.:D I'm so proud of my family.Austanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05568578637922817033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8744889144101573638.post-62516350541300652082011-07-22T20:57:57.640-04:002011-07-22T20:57:57.640-04:00I couldn't have said it better.
