And what I've noticed is that these people, who run small scams to try to rip me off for a few dollars here and there, are no different than the banks which charge fees for services they don't render, than credit card issuers who change interest rates to 30% on money loaned at 6%, than customer service representatives who assure you that their latest unreasonable demand for money is legal "because its in your contract", et cetera. The majority of the human race consists of pathetic, vice ridden scumbags who are trying to steal from their fellow humans every penny they can scratch up.
This kind of behavior disturbs me, because I was not raised around people like this and was always taught that such pathetic examples were a minority of the human population. Yet I find them everywhere, and realize that those ideologies which presume the ability of the majority of men to lead and direct the actions of their society are wrong. The vast majority of people need to be directed and controlled by that ethical minority which is capable of making the "big decisions" about the world. A true socialist ethic is a rare thing only a small portion of men are capable of, but only under that ethic and those men who possess it can humanity overcome its tendency towards a petty and narrow existence.
