Jealousy is a very ugly emotion, and it turns its sufferers into ugly people.

This is a choice Right Wing myth. It's not a matter of being jealous of anyone - it's a matter of despising a system of heartless self-interest that generates those levels of priviledge anyway. It's a matter of conscience amnd humanity in the face of the social & cultural apartheid that mires this country into a mess of grotesque wealth on one hand and ghastly poverty on the other. It's also a matter of tearfully lamenting a once beautiful country carved up on ancient fuedal privileges and UTTERLY WASTED by developers and other opportunists in the name of progress.

I'm reminded of an old blind man who got his sight back after 60 years having lost it at the age of ten. He took one look at the ugly mess that had become of the town he remembered so well and hung himself.
