Worthy thoughts, Ross. But the Old Man and I were talking about the Children in Need events, and I wondered why people think life is fair? It isn't, and as much as we want there to be no need for Children in Need there will always be that need because life simply isn't fair. We can strive to make it so, and we can reduce the risks of unfairness, promote equality, and work hard to create a better world - I like to think we do that - but the bottom line is, well, the bottom line, the £sd that people pursue and the self interest that we all have.
But I will join you in your wishes, because they are good wishes and the wishes we should have for our world, and if I am honest I am still idealistic enough to think there is hope for them.
