I had an argument with a man in my local last night. I interrupted a conversation that sounded interesting and after hearing him pose the question, 'Who owns this world? Us or the government?' I tried to explain that the government is made up of people too, and they are not that different from anyone in this pub. He got slightly agitated at this and said did I not think his opinion was important then? I said yes, but no more important than anyone elses, and how would poor Tony Blair deal with 60 million people turning up at his doorstep all insisting that their opinion was the right one? He then got ever so slightly more agitated and said 'Look lady, you've got a lot to learn mumble mumble mumble' and left the building.

I forget the point of telling you this but it is something along the lines of not being able to change the system to your benefit, and stop thinking you're right. Oh and stop worrying about what everyone else is doing and enjoy your own life, which naturally never causes anyone harm in sweat shops, financial deficit or sheer annoyance.
