re: #89 notutopia
It’s bloody patho-logical. Like trying to buy a friendship?
I think it’s even worse.
I think it is a naive belief that money really can cure any problem, and that all crime, violence, and hatred is rooted in poverty or lack of “opportunity”. It is a sad, weak, gasping relic of “The White Man’s Burden” of the 19th century.
It’s midnight basketball for totalitarian dictators and socio-fascists.
