Good to know we shouldn't have pleasure so long as there is any man who can't share in it.
[EDIT] single father/middle class technocrat here, living paycheck to paycheck. Many of my friends make less than I do. By this measure of hubris, I should not go out to eat so long as fellow engineers are looking for work.
- tptacek 14y agoAs anyone who has had my comments inflicted on them long enough can tell you, if I had meant to point out that people shouldn't enjoy living out of a van (if that's there thing), I would have made that point, repeatedly, in painful detail. That's not what I was saying.
- tgrass 14y agoSorry, I didn't mean to imply that you said people shouldn't enjoy living out of a van. I meant to draw attention to you writing that living in a van was an insincere (glib) and unrealistic (romantic) undertaking.
- dmorgan 14y ago>Good to know we shouldn't have pleasure so long as there is any man who can't share in it. Sounds as a very good, if difficult to attain, guideline for the improvement of society. And very close to the original message of Christianity too (I'm talking milleniums ago).
