Ghost of Christmas Present: If these shadows remain unaltered by the future, none other of my species will find him here. But if he is to die, then let him die...! “AND DECREASE THE SURPLUS POPULATION!”

Ebenezer Scrooge: You use my own words against me?

Ghost of Christmas Present: Yes! So perhaps, in the future, you will hold your tongue until you have discovered where the surplus population is, and WHO it is. It may well be that, in the sight of Heaven, you are more worthless and less fit to live than MILLIONS like this poor man’s child.

Umm! One of the greatest novellas in the English language.

I don’t believe in Karma but sometimes when I give a buck to a stranger I do think that maybe someday someone will help me if I get in similar circumstances. Not the noblest idea but I do worry about the future.

You have many who agree with you, you know. They may not be with you on this thread right now but they are all over America.
