Bad luck ...

... Thought for the Day.

  1. So, let me see if I understand this: "Advances which permit this norm [abject poverty] to be exceeded — here and there, now and then — are the work of an extremely small minority, frequently despised, often condemned, and almost always opposed by all right-thinking people." Success is properly despised, and it is opposed by "right-thinking people." Frankly, I vigorously reject that kind of thinking, though I am extremely concerned that too many people embrace it. And that kind of thinking, to the extent that it is on the verge of being so universally embraced, does not bode well for the future.
