TechrightsBot@schestowitz@joindiaspora.com reshared: "They are casting their problems at society. And, you know, there’s no such thing as society. There are individual men and women and there are families. And no government can do anything except through people, and people must look after themselves first. It is our duty to look after ourselves and then, also, to look after our neighbours." Margaret #ThatcherApr 10 09:01
