I'm not sure everyone would consider it a priority...unless we are defining everyone very narrowly. :P

Not everybody would consider elimination of poverty and guaranteeing high levels of employment a high priority?  Sounds like a winning political legacy to me.

If the state hires all unemployed people you have no unemployment.

Again if that plan worked everybody would be doing it.  But somehow it has always proven to be rather unsustainable.

Maybe we live in a computer simulation in which the theory of the welfare state is being tested.

Just wait.  The Rev.2014.01.10 patch will probably break him again.

Garbon is a Republican.  :secret:

When I'm speaking about myself, I think I'd make that clear. I was thinking that everyone encompasses a lot of nations on Earth.
"I've never been quite sure what the point of a eunuch is, if truth be told. It seems to me they're only men with the useful bits cut off."
I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.

It does indeed.  But more telling is your view of what most people on the face of the earth would think. ;)

Telling of my negativity? Sure but then that's always been a given.

I choose to believe that there once was a young garbon full of hope and joy and good feelings, before life so cruelly beat those sentiments out of him.

garbon

Now, no. Negativity doesn't mean I don't have joy and good feelings. :P
