Oh .I dunno about that either. I live graciously, and for the most part contentedly, on the smell of an oily rag, and not just as a aged superannuitant either.
But I have the benefit and privilege of an education - another thing many people choose not to seek out and acquire. More and more I am convinced the key to a half decent life is education.
The other thing we often miss is the need for every thinking person to take a role in civic progress, to vote responsibly, to support policies we believe in, to not be persuaded down strange alleyways by personality and promises that simply do not stack up. And not just to fall back on a diet of blaming someone else for everything that isn't right.
We are lucky to live in this progressive nation with its public health, peace and security, education, and rational politics. Sure it could be improved, but that is really up to us. It is also up to us to protect it, plenty of examples elsewhere as to how easily it can be lost.
