He is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored

No one has any right to condemn him for this, because all who live under the present system practise selfishness, more or less. We must be selfish: the System demands it. We must be selfish or we shall be hungry and ragged and finally die in the gutter. The more selfish we are the better off we shall be. In the 'Battle of Life' only the selfish and cunning are able to survive: all others are beaten down and trampled under foot. No one can justly be blamed for acting selfishly - it is a matter of self-preservation - we must either injure or be injured. It is the system that deserves to be blamed. What those who wish to perpetuate the system deserve is another question.

ARCHIVES OF PAIN.

I wonder who you think you are
Do you damn well think you're God or something?
God give life, God taketh it away
Not you
I think you are the devil itself.



This is the image I have been fearing. For the past few months, perhaps year, I have been (hysterically) urging people to vote Labour. This is why.

As a side note, Cameron's interesting claim that the Labour government has made us "more compassionate abroad" seems strange considering the messes of Iraq and Afghanistan. Maybe he inadvertantly is referring not to foreign policy as such but the devolution question regarding Northern Ireland. To say that policy towards Northern Ireland has been more compassionate than the previous Tory administration is an incredible understatement. The peace of the province is in his hands.
