Some, however, on their rise to the top do go a tad sideways. I can think of a little painter from Austria as one example. Unfortunately a dash of psychopathy is sometimes a powerful leg up in matters of social elevation. Spend a few years in any big law firm and you'll get that beyond any question.The Mound of Soundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09023839743772372922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-67871891719442424172013-01-30T08:11:15.985-08:002013-01-30T08:11:15.985-08:00Monetarist sadist Central Bank governor John Crow&...Monetarist sadist Central Bank governor John Crow's parents were London, UK janitors.thwaphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15399550285738440669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-72865934279201123502013-01-29T14:02:31.105-08:002013-01-29T14:02:31.105-08:00Hard to say, isn't it Owen?

Peace, prosperity, consumer comforts - they all just fell into our laps. Looking back, we wanted for almost nothing even if we didn't grasp that at the time. Then again, these are the sort of "pinnacle" conditions most societies enjoy just before they implode. <br /><br />We owe the generations we have spawned a great deal but we'll never make good on it.
