The Waffling Begins

SEE HERE Everyone likes something for nothing. Unfortunately there ain't no such thing as a free lunch. TANSTAAFL Sorry to disappoint you. If you're getting something for free, someone else is getting shafted, or at least paying for it. So this tendency to like free stuff is just a human failing. We should earn what we get and if we take free stuff we should recognize that that puts us under an obligation to the folks that are footing the bill. If we don't see that then we are moral reprobates because nothing is free. The whole world is a web of interdependency. Puts me a little in mind of Avatar with the universal dependency, but it really is the case that everything is connected and interdependent.
