McGrath - that was communism... from each according to their means, to each according to their needs.

The vinyard parable is this: Those workers employed at the beginning of the day agreed to a price and were happy. They stopped being happy when others came in near the end of the day and got the same price for fewer hours work. The moral (apart from always read the small print) is, your reward will always be equal to your labours, but some may not have to work hard to get it.

I still say that cucumbers are only good for one thing - and that sure as heck ain't eating!
