The thing about _traditional_ charity, of the religious or community sort, was that it was not treated as an "entitlement," as something the resentful masses could "demand" as part of their "human rights."
There's no substantial difference between their resentful whining about their rights
Such as the "right" to health insurance, the "right" to free checks for sitting on one's chair, the "right" to be treated preferentially as equally qualified non-minorities applying to the same job, the "right" to housing, the "right" to free education, the "right" to be paid three times what your labor is worth in the lowest bracket jobs.
I wasn't surprised when Attilla flogged a cartoon liberal in responding to me, but I'm quite surprised you have. I didn't produce or defend a litany of "rights," I pointed out that Tim is resentful and whines.
and your resentful whining about your rights
The right to personal property.
Malapropos.
Beginning to get the picture?
I've had it all along.
All of the former were created in the last 60 years out of whole cloth more as "revolution insurance" than anything else. They are rights because someone said they were, not because they are well or logically grounded.
Absolutely.
- except maybe that you whine more.
