QotD: Socialism
No one is truly an adult in the nanny state. We are all mewling, suckling babes, requiring constant care and supervision, lest we poison ourselves on freedom or some other noxious substance, or suffocate in the complexities of the big bad world.

Oh, and Brooksie, lad? You trying to horn in on my territory? Do we need to arrange for pistols at dawn? ;-)

In my own defence, I commissioned Alan's post for the specific purpose of looking good by linking to it. The quote you've chosen actually came from his own comments to
this post, and you can see I asked him to expand upon it at that point.
Having said that, I've stepped quite squarely on your toes today, and apologised in advance. Wouldn't want to offend my recce partner! ;)
Nah, no offense taken: just twisting your words to make it seem like I was offended. After all, with everything I've written about offensensitivity, I can hardly wander around being thin-skinned about this sort of thing, can I?
I think you got your money's worth on that post. It's a good one.
