Subject: RE: BS: My Amazing Sister-Your's Too!
Yep... I met Annie... but never knew she did such things.
I have one friend who has fixed my refrigerator, lapped the valves in my VW, helped me move, provided me lodging when I moved HERE, helped me get a job, and generally 'been there' when I needed support....and I have returned maybe a 10th the favors. But we don't keep track. We just do what we can.
There is a 'formula' for that sort of attitude: "From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs."
Not a bad slogan.... but it was popularized by Karl Marx, and we KNOW that society can't function with anything Marx defended.
