Re: Update on the UK Riots.
I would say that socialism could be a contributing factor. The more entitlements given to a people, the more pissed they will be when hard times take them away.
People will work their asses off at horrendous jobs until they find they can do equally well sitting on their asses.
I am ready to support things like universal health care when the plan is mandatory for everyone and we must take care of those legitimately unable to take care of themselves. Anyone else must be required to work at a government horrendous job to be eligible for the dole.
I really think this is about economics and not man's inhumanity to man. We are better now than we were a hundred years ago. I like us in the long haul.
