Sunday night on BBC Radio 4 the Bishop of Durham said about Thatcherism (This can also be applied to Reaganomics): To return to the ethics of the 19th century entrepreneurial induvidualism is either nonsense or else a firm declaration that induvidual selfishness and organised greed are the only effective motivations for human behaviour. Any comments? -- James C. Armstrong, Jnr. ihnp4!abnji!nyssa In the sight of the Great Video, and of Varos, who gave his name to our planet, we pray that you accept the lives of these humble deviants, in recompense for their sins. We also pray that you look benignly upon us, and down upon your people as servants.

Armstrong, Jnr. ihnp4!abnji!nyssa I realy wouldn't expect anything less idiotic out of the mouth of a religious leader. This is realy interesting: "19th century entrepenurial INDIVIDUALISM" supports "ORGANIZED greed." What in the world is "organized greed" anyway? Unfortunately, most of the world continues to concur with the bishop that selfishness is evil. Michael Sykora
