Sociopolitical debate
Rereading "Maskerade" (Terry Pratchett) I came across a quote I had not previously noticed. It seemed appropriate given the number of items yesterday linking the muslim conference in France to the socio/communist ideals:
[Granny Weatherwax]: "It's only money."
"Yes, but it's only my money, not only your money," Nanny pointed out.
"We witches have always held everything in common, you know that," said Granny.
"Well, yes," said Nanny, and once again cut to the heart of the sociopolitical debate. "It's easy to hold everything in common when no one's got anything."
"Why, Gytha Ogg," said Granny, "I thought you despised riches!"
"Right, so I'd like to get the chance to despise them up close."
