If we support and endorse a predatory economic model should we then complain when it chews us up and spits us out?
What if we valued work according to what it contributed to the betterment of the community?
The power of an idea, philosophy or belief is seen in the willingness of people to embrace and hold onto it freely without inducement, fear or force.
The first role of government and our elected representatives should always be to maintain the social cohesivenss of the nation.
It should be to this purpose that they frame their policies and their debates.
To the extent that they fail on this point they fail the people and on this point they should be judged first and foremost.
