Jim,
You may be right. I think self employed people have a different outlook and philosophy on life. We are self employed because we want to do our own thing. To be totally responsible for our own success/failure. Not being dictated to by petty/stupid people further up the ladder. Not to be out of a job because someone higher up decides you're redundant/incompetent/not PC/etc etc
We try and circumvent beaurocratic nonsense, government regulations, PC drivel. We tell it like it is, we ignore speed limits, we enjoy life, we believe in everything in moderation. We appreciate the female form and beautiful women. We love fast cars and noisy motors. We believe people are responsible for their own actions. We don't look to the government to protect us from our own stupidity. We learn the hard way, we injure ourselves, life is colourful and varied. There is pain and there is joy. There is hard work and hard play. WE LOVE LIFE! WE HATE BLAND! We hate social engineering.
We like to get on with our own lives and do what we like when we like, provided it has no detrimental effect on anyone else. We are not interested in influencing what anyone else is doing so long as it does not affect us. Foolishly we tend to expect the same courtesy to be returned by individuals and society.
Before I was born, my father went to war to protect his and his future childrens freedoms. He came back alive, many of his mates didn't. Now, the freedoms and lifestyle that many died to uphold are being eroded by a fifth column from within.....
Got ot go now, there is a knock on the door. I think it's a visit from the Thought Police......Thank god I've got my cyanide tablet handy....
Cheers,
