A MAN was charged with”sleeping out”.

When officers roused him he said: “I have had some drink.” The pris- oner ended up there after being turned out of a pub the previous evening for tak­ ing his own beer in. The court sent Lynch

: Prof Dawkins is a scientist whose cry is: “Fpllow-the science”. A number of.psy-. chologists and social scientists are doing :


: charity giving, rubbing shouldere with pro­ fessional fund-raisers who looked closely at who gave to charity’and why. Some 15 years ago they concluded that the decline in individuals giving to charities of all de-


institutions were deliberately targeted'by fund-raisers.


Scientifically, conducted surveys now clearly demonstrate that people with a


declared religious belief are not only are. more likely to give money to'good causes, but also arejmore wllirig'tb donate their

_ Now that I am getting older and wiser 1 am beginning to realise that there are a lot of people in society who seem to be obsessed with money.

. it certainly seems that the majority of peo­ ple nowadays are obsessed with the accu­ mulation of material things such as being wealthy, owning a nice house, a big car and the status that comes with it. I realise that in today’s global capitalist society it is hard to escape the daily bombardment of hundreds of new brands, products and ad­ vertisements. There is nothing wrong with enjoying life, treating yourseff and having nice things, especially if you have worked hard for it. I admit I am somewhat guilty of this as I enjoy buying new clothes, shoes and handbags that I don’t really need, go­ ing out to eat, and I always look fonvard to stocking up on perfume and buying the latest mobile phone model when my con-


fluence of money perpetuates greed and


materialistic and they keep asking for more, even though it is unaffordable and unneccesary. I was speaking to my friend the other day who “had” to buy her seven- year-old daughter the latest Nintendo DS ' Lite, although she couldn’t afford it, but


the most expensive goods in the shortest penod of time. The problem is, people seem to be too


young, love the idea of having everything, but when is everything ever enough to people who love money? It seems some people just don’t kilow when to stop.


when I was seven I was grateful for wha6 ever birthday presents my parents gave me. There was no such thing as “demand­ ing” a present. How times have changed! It seems a lot of people, especially the

tract is due for renewal. However, the dif- ference is, I know what my spending budg­ et IS and I would never spend beyond mv means. For example, I wouldn’t go out to buy a Gucci coat or a Louis Vuitton hand­ bag if I knew I couldn’t afford it, but there are a lot of people out there who view life as a competition to see who can acquire
