"We are all interconnected. We are all Americans. What happens to the least of us, happens also to me. "Ask not for whom the bell tolls. It tolls for thee.""
Words of wisdom indeed.
"When your support is entirely through public assistance you have a much different view of the state of the world than if you're actually working to earn your keep. "
I work for a living and I still share Marichiko's point of view. If the only people who gave a shit about the people at the bottom of the pile, were the people at the bottom of the pile, we'd have a cold and callous jungle of a world and that would be a pity.
Does one really have to be dependant upon the state, in order to see oneself as intrinsically linked to one's countrymen? I find that deeply sad; not to mention indicative of pretty much all that's wrong with the Capitalist West (imo)
I also find it amusing that every time Marichiko dares to have an opinion on society, Wolf finds a way to work in an insult/jibe about her lack of income. What's your next trick Wolf? Nip down to the nearest set of slums and laugh at the poor people, maybe wave a wad of money in their faces ?
