Churchill summed it up best, the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few, which means people will be made examples of as and when needed.
- FpUser 5y ago>"Churchill summed it up best, the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few" Looking at the cases it seems like "the needs of few" at the top outweigh the needs of many. So cut the BS Mr. Churchill

- travisgriggs 5y ago> Churchill summed it up best, the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few I’m disillusioned, discovering that it wasn’t Spock (Nemoy) uttering this as his dying words. Did someone eventually tell Churchill that sometimes “the needs of the few outweigh the needs of the many?” Or do I have to wait many years in the future to hear that sentiment?
