[G. Adams]

I'm not, like probably everyone else here, going to read this book. Not because I think in black and white, I certainly don't do that. Not because it may be written by someone just trying to make money. Not because I don't believe a book can change my life, a few already have. But because its a book. I already have six piled up in front of me to read in the next few weeks and I'm not putting another on the pile.

However, I would like to enlighten you on a few things. Firstly, if we all tried to get rich, more than 99% will fail. Why? Because getting rich requires someone else losing some of their wealth, which means the people trying to get rich lose it, thus stopping them from getting rich, or from people who are already rich, and they protect themselves pretty well.

If we were all equally succesful in our business ventures we would all be equal wealth wise.

But more importantly, if everyone in the world tried business venture after business venture there would no-one plowing the fields, fishing the sea or mining the coal. Someone has to do the menial work to keep the system running while we keep trying.

And I am a communist because deep down in my heart I don't want to see ethiopians dying on the tv, tramps on the street or dole lines that stretch around the corner. And the only way I can do this is through communism. Or I could try Hitlers way of killing 3 million people to make 3 million new jobs but extend this world wide, but killing people to help people kind of defeats the point.
