Don't have a comment, just basking in the warm afterglow of Pittsmas. 
Actually, Bill's thread on Skins's island is a textbook example of how selfish, how self-centered, Democrats, liberals, and primitives are.
It's all about Bill having to spend $50,000 of his own money every year for medicines for his wife.
Bill has plenty of money--to him, $50,000 a year could be doled out of his petty cash. His trust fund after all includes some prime real-estate in downtown Boston.
So Bill can afford it.
However, there's probably many other people in the same predicament, who don't have elephantine trust funds, and to whom $50,000 a year would present an onerous burden.
But Bill doesn't mention those other, less fortunate, people; Bill's interested in only his own pain, even though it's
very minor, almost imperceptible, when compared with the megamassive pain felt by others.
Bill's just like Atman; there's many things he can easily afford, but he just doesn't want to have to spend his own money on them.
