Politics contd.

Thank you to everyone who replied to my previous post, and especially for being so civil and having such interesting discussions. I sadly didn't have the time to join in (and still don't have time for anything indepth), so I shall just leave you with these two things, which tie in beautifully with my icon:

"I don't think the Doctor would be in favour of the Welfare State BECAUSE I think it's an undisputable good, but because he's an impulsive, sentimental, romantic interventionist - it's the kind of thing he'd do. Whatever you think of the long term consequences of a welfare state - I understand the arguments against - it does arise from the kind of idealism espoused by the Doctor."
Steven Moffat

(Personally, then yes, I'm on the idealism spectrum. Plus, I think that as a society we owe it to ourselves not to let our fellow citizens go without basic necessities, whether they 'deserve' them or not.)
