28/10/11

Afternoon all! Sunny day here in Cardiff.

Found this lurking on my hard drive:

The poor have been rebels, but they have never been anarchists; they have more interest than anyone else in there being some decent government. The poor man really has a stake in the country. The rich man hasn’t; he can go away to New Guinea in a yacht. The poor have sometimes objected to being governed badly; the rich have always objected to being governed at all. Aristocrats were always anarchists.
G.K. Chesterton, The Man Who Was Thursday
