That's typical nonsense on a level with the notion that everyone who has
been executed for murder was actually guilty.

Quote:

"You must all know half a dozen people at least
who are no use in this world, who are more trouble
than they are worth. Just put them there and say
Sir, or Madam, now will you be kind enough to
justify your existence? If you can+IBk-t justify your
existence, if you+IBk-re not pulling your weight in
the social boat, if you+IBk-re not producing as much
as you consume or perhaps a little more, then,
clearly, we cannot use the organizations of our
society for the purpose of keeping you alive,
because your life does not benefit us and it can+IBk-t
be of very much use to yourself."
--George Bernard Shaw

I used to think the artistic types, like playwrights, were actually
intelligent, not apes with an apparently kind disposition, but with such
an evil heart. That's a lot like people who claim that others are wasting
their own lives, even though the person perceived to be a waste doesn't
see his own life as a waste at all.
