When you pay me you get to say how long I should spend doing anything.
Until that time, your view on my time deployment is irrelevant, likewise your aside concerning “substance”.

Tubley, I believe societies have only one functioning part, the individual. All other descriptions regarding people are merely different collective nouns for individuals.

Veryself – my comment regarding collective nouns to tubley applies equally to your post.

Further, if you are going to quote someone, get the whole quote and not the little bit which suites your purpose.
“There is no such thing as Society. There are individual men and women, and there are families. “
And in the context of the UK in 1970’s, following almost 15 years of socialist mismanagement, bungling incompetence in matters fiscal, a government kowtowing to union directives and the endemic institutionalization of industrial resources into theorized corporations devoid of innovation or entrepreneurial skill, to the point of their own collapse (BMC, British Steel etc) she was dead right. The society the socialists carved out was a hollow sham purchased at the expense of Britain’s competitive strengths by the repressive meddling of the grey levelers. Such a negative socialist environment saw the mass migration of those Britain’s who wished to escape repressive socialism to other places, including Australia, where they and previous immigrants (from various programs, some less enlightened than others) brought strengths of innovation and work ethic.
And my accent, it holds true to the county of my birth and might surprise you.

Maelorin suggest you put your extensive analytical skills to use and do what I suggested to Billie “Find something you can do better than other people and help those other people improve their lives by supplying your superior skill in that particular area”
Oh remember, you will need to market it, you might know what you have but your potential clients / customers will not until you tell them (and employers are ‘customers’ by another name)

Fabulous Col. How much do you want to stand on your head wearing a dress singing Solidarity Forever at the top of your voice.?

I recall rousing choruses and verses of “The Working Class can kiss my A$$”
Sung to the tune “le internationale” in my college days in West Bromwich.

However these days, I would charge a lot more and if the your material wealth is as robust as your cerebral wealth, just asking half a dollar would be enough to break the budget.

Oh from your post, the suggestion re “cross dressing”, that indicates you prefer to live your sad little life vicariously?

Col,
I must apologise for my previos compiments of You, You have obviously reverted back to your nasty demeaning old self, what a pity when you were at last showing signs of being a human being......

C'mon Col , how much? Dont worry about my budget, anything for a buck, you right wing pom. Listen it doesnt have to be your dress, you can borrow one.

“The Working Class can kiss my A$$” is a perfectly correct attitude – as long as “Working Class” that is low-paid, “wet backs” and other under-castes migrants pay Col. Rouge & Co rent in full, paying off their properties obtained too often on bank credits provided under property already mortgaged on money being siphoned from overseas.

Let one tales that no classes exist
