Yes, we do not differ much.
You say someting Speedy, I add or modify a bit and someone else adds 2 cents more and we all profit from the sum.

I only compare to a reading of a will and human nature.
Someone dies without care from relatives but leaving a fortune, every body who is even distantly related wants a piece of it, not obtaining it threatens with law suit.

We should not be surprised if everyone puts their best face on as to why they are entitled to something. Problem is that not every one is entitled. ( I feel that most of Matawa are not entitled.)

As in an executor of a will the governments need to deal a firm hand as to what is acceptable and what is not.
Unfortunately there are few politicians with leadership qualities.
Sad are we.
