Equality?

[Kendal]

Yes they were poor examples I agree. I did not want to spend much thought debunking proverbs. People using proverbs to support their argument in a political discussion always seems to me like those the Southern lawyers who quote the scriptures to prove their case - it's makes for good drama and showmanship but is a load of hogwash. This is why politicians steer clear of them - they get nailed.

Anyhow back to the point. You claim people do not value that which is obtained at no cost to themselves.

- Do you value this website - you did not pay for admission.
- Do you value the posts and posters on here for which you have given thanks.
- Does the hungry man value the food from the soup kitchen or bed at the hostel.
- Does the hitchhiker value the ride he gets.
- Do people go intro stampede mode at stores when the word "free" is mention.
- Did you value your allowance - (the one you got without having to work for it)
- Do people value the sermom and service they get at the church.
- Will you value the wedding ring you get(got)
- Are all of the above definable and finite products, services and commodities.

I think the answer to all of the above is Yes. And all were obtained for FREE.
