We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.
Aye, there's the rub. Someone has to do something productive or nobody lives off of anybody. I started wondering how this could work with a stable population about 20 years ago. Turns out Europe has to figure this out with a shrinking population.
It's the great socialist fantasy. We can all live high off the hog at everybody elses expense. Of course, as Maggie Thatcher pointed out, you eventually run out of other peoples money.
