Utánrúgás: emlékezzünk Steiner Pálra (jújdejó nélküled)

You must all know half a dozen people at least who are no use in this world, who are more trouble than they are worth. Just put them there and say Sir, or Madam, now will you be kind enough to justify your existence? If you can’t justify your existence, if you’re not pulling your weight in the social boat, if you’re not producing as much as you consume or perhaps a little more, then, clearly, we cannot use the organizations of our society for the purpose of keeping you alive, because your life does not benefit us and it can’t be of very much use to yourself.

A szemetesben találtam :) 2006, Vörösmarty tér, Steiner Pál, Belváros akkori polgármestere, a zsíros, oldscool komcsi funkci triciklis kampánya. Az ember, aki sohasem csinált vmi hasznosat, született improduktív létforma. Hol van az a nyár, lecsobbant a történelem slóziján... Tegnap még Steiner hájas segge, ma Rogán csapott vállai, holnapután ki fog az ötkerben uralkodni? Az önzetlenség és a szabadság.

Következzék egy kis Bernard Shaw, fabianus szocialista, Nobel-díjas, etc:

I don’t want to punish anybody, but there are an extraordinary number of people who I might want to kill…I think it would be a good thing to make everybody come before a properly appointed board just as he might come before the income tax commissioner and say every 5 years or every 7 years…just put them there and say , ‘Sir or madam will you be kind enough to justify your existence…if you’re not producing as much as you consume or perhaps a little bit more then clearly we cannot use the big organization of our society for the purpose of keeping you alive. Because your life does not benefit us and it can’t be of very much use to yourself.’
