Since Jojo is now on my filter list this "moron" is fortunate to avoid being subjected to most of his take on philanthropy, except that is when he is copied. Granted, I must confess the fact that I was secretly hoping to bate Jojo into responding to some of my so-called radical opinions. ... and he did. Occasionally, Jojo is very predictable.
IMHO, Jojo's philosophy is better expressed within the context of following script: ************************* LADY: Many thousands only want the common necessities of life. LADY 2: Hundreds and thousands are in want of common comfort, Sir. SCROOGE: Are there no prisons? LADIES: Oh, yes, plenty of prisons! SCROOGE: And the workhouses, have they all closed down? LADY: Oh no, they have not. I wish I could say they had. SCROOGE: I was afraid from what you said that something had occured that would stop them in their useful work. I am glad to hear it is not so. LADY: Oh, but sir, realizing that neither the prisons nor the workhouses can provide any Christian cheer to either mind or body, we are trying to raise some money to buy the poor a little meat, and drink, and means of keeping warm at this so very special time of year, they are most in need. How much shall we put you down for, Sir? SCROOGE: Nothing. LADY: Oh! Sir, you wish to remain anonymous? SCROOGE: Ladies, since you ask me what I wish...I do not make myself Merry at Christmas, and I cannot afford to make idle people merry. If they are poor, I have to support the prisons and the workhouses from my taxes. They cost enough. And those who are poor must go there. LADY 2: Well, you can't go there. Many would rather die. SCROOGE: If they would rather die, they had better do it, and reduce the surplus population. Good day, ladies. ************************** From: A Christmas Carroll http://www.scribd.com/doc/47814316/Christmas-Carol-Script Regards Steven Vincent Johnson www.OrionWorks.com www.zazzle.com/orionworks
