OK. It will be tragic, sure, but in no way unjust.

Not unjust. The Tyranny of the masses.

Or as someone else once , people get the government they deserve.

Yeah yeah yeah... so they say. But is it the government my two sons
deserve?
I deserve it because I didn't walk into the Swedish immigration
office in Stockholm and ask for asylum when I was there when I was 18.

Typical "liberal" position - "I deserve a reward because I _didn't_ do
whatever..." ...

Huh ? Did you deliberately misread George's post are where you
taught creationism in science class ? ;-)

Huh, right back at ya? If I understand the first part, no, I didn't
misread anything. He said:

" I deserve it because I didn't..."

So tell us Rick, what have you ever done to deserve the many
advantages you have other than be born to the right parents ?

I have no obligation to explain, much less justify, anything to anyone
here for a number of reasons, and chief among them in this case is
because I'm not running for POTUS, nor asking anyone to vote or
otherwise support me in such an endeavor, nor have I claimed that I
deserve anything.

And there you are,

Well, there *you* are, most of the rest of us had to work for it.

I suspect that I work at least as much, if not more, on things at least
as mentally and physically difficult, if not more so, and do so for a
longer period of time, on most days than many of "the rest of 'us'" and
have for many years. But I know that such stuff has no instant
relevance because, again, I'm not running for POTUS nor am I claiming to
deserve anything.

And there we are,
