You're a foul one, Mr. Grinch...

<Try the laxative of empathy and let your heart grow two sizes Mr. Grinch. If your reasoning capacity were added you would indeed be formidable.

A rather mixed biological metaphor, but allow me to muddle it further.

I stand by my position that the milk of human kindness should not be acquired at gunpoint. That you equate this position with selfishness says more about your philosophy than mine.

The Grinch may not be the best example in this case, considering at the end of the book he was lauded by all and sundry as the example of redeemed generosity for having simply given the Whos their very own stolen gifts back, and then sitting down to mooch a meal off them. A perfect Democratic politician?
