Big Society? lol

I've had a quick skim of the idea. It's funny. It's kinda like
socialism. Less government, more people. Great! I'm a huge fan of
socialist ideals. But it's not going to work now is it?

It depends on people and organisations being citizens rather than
selfish. I want to believe that humanity has reached the point where
levels of insanity (in the irrationality meaning of the word) are
altruistic, but...well....what percentage of your income have you given
to charity this year? How much volunteering have you done? I'm afraid I
say I haven't given enough nor done enough. But I give more than most.

These visionary ideas might as well be second hand toilet paper. They're
about as much use in practice. The vision is never seen in practice.
That's my problem with politics. It's all rhetoric.
