Vikings Entitlement Provision

More From Jonathan Franzen

We do have a big kind of history in literate tradition of vikings and we have a lot of viking blood in scotland, i mean especially up north wherever you go you see a plastic viking sitting outside a shop and viking calendars and - because they - you know they came down and stole all our chicks and then some of them didn't quite get back and ended up settling down here. so there's a lot of viking blood in scotland.
Mean Blood Up North
Nothing more guarantees the erosion of character than getting something for nothing. in the liberal welfare state, one develops an entitlement mentality. and the rhetoric of liberalism - labeling each new entitlement a 'right reinforces this sense of entitlement.' -
Character Erosion Guarantees
What ends up getting this stephen lerner guy in the mind-set that he's in is his sense of entitlement. so he wants a college education. he wants it, he should have it. it shouldn't cost him anything. and the people who provide it certainly shouldn't be getting rich because a college education he thinks is an entitlement.
College Thinking Should Have
We're a young species; we're only 175,000 years old. on the evolutionary scale, life on this planet is 4 billion years old. we're 175,000 years old. so we're trying something out. who wouldn't think it would be better to have the most stuff to take as much as you could? as we do that, we see why the moral prophets come along and say, don't even store into barns, right? it's easier for a camel to pass through the eye of the needle than a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. we've seen we plunder nature. we plunder our neighbor. we create enemies because we're against each other.
Eye Men Thinking
We shall not bind ourselves by treaties. we shall not allow ourselves to be entangled by treaties. we reject all clauses on plunder and violence, but we shall welcome all clauses containing provisions for good-neighbourly relations and all economic agreements; we cannot reject these.
Agreement Violence Welcome
When the rich plunder the poor of his rights, it becomes an example for the poor to plunder the rich of his property, for the rights of the one are as much property to him as wealth is property to the other, and the little all is as dear as the much. it is only by setting out on just principles that men are trained to be just to each other; and it will always be found, that when the rich protect the rights of the poor, the poor will protect the property of the rich. but the guarantee, to be effectual, must be parliamentarily reciprocal.
Men Rights Political
