Don't get your knickers in a twist, John - just watch the thread. We happened to be talking about "privilege", which is my name for an unjust law - one which benefits one at the expense of another. At the point you mention, I was answering Chris who was appalled that I should include the poor welfare recipients in that category. Welfare for the rich - that is privilege certainly costs us a lot more than welfare for the poor. But, my point was that all privilege should be ended. For I believe in justice (before charity) and privilege is the exact opposite of justice.
