That's Gillian Anderson? Excuse me while I take a moment to add a name to the list of actors who inhabit a role so well that you can't recognize the actor but intimately know who they are portraying.

Gillian Anderson in my unpopular opinion here did a better job at playing Margaret, Thatcher than did Meryl Streep look I love Meryl Streep but this woman has so much more of an emotional range with this character. She was able to make Margaret Thatcher really come to life not only that but to make her feel out of place.

@@TheOblake2The genius of the parable is that Samaritans were looked down upon by the Jews at the time; they were thought of us “half-breeds.” So the phrase “Good Samaritan” was essentially an oxymoron. But Jesus makes a Samaritan the hero of the story and just about everyone else a villain for refusing to help. The story isn’t really about the Samaritan at all, it was to make a larger point to the disciples about what really matters - not where someone comes from but by how they choose to live their life and how they treat others. All of that said…yes, he did also have money. :)

Maybe a better way to put it (and more sympathetic sounding) is: He had the ability as well. In case a person is helped by material goods, yes, that ability is derived from money, as was the case in the parable of the good Samaritan. And I think it's absolutely right, before you can help others, you need to make sure you have the means to help. It sthe first rule emergency responders learn: Care for your own safety first, or you will become an emergency yourself. You need a functioning body to help. Same with the economy: If your economy runs badly, no social program will save the poor because you cannot pay for any social programs

@@An0niem4 thats actually a great point. I actually reread the parable of the good samaritan particularly the part that apart from mending the injuries of the victim and took him to an inn, he paid for the persons lodging and treatment in advance for the entire duration of his recovery and then went further to say if the money he left was short they can charge him later for the balance once he comes back. The Samaritan DID have money, lots of it.

Their own luck is the one factor that successful people are never able to see. All they see is "I worked hard, and I succeded. Therefore, anyone who works hard will succeed as much as I have. If someone is poor and/or unsuccessful, that must mean that they refuse to work hard and are lazy, and thus have only themselves to blame" Noone is saying you didn't work insanely hard, but you were also very lucky. You were lucky in that the choices you made turned out to be the right ones. You were lucky that the gambles you took worked out in your favour. When it boiled down to chance, you came out on top, while a much larger group of people didn't.

While true, it’s misleading to say that in the context of this clip is set in 1986, when he was involved in building a university in Oman, and probably some arms deals (selling British arms to Saudi Arabia). In 1987 he moved to the US and got involved in the car industry for a decade, before moving to South Africa because he’d fudged his US taxes. He got involved in the coup in 2004. I don’t think he’d had much to do with South Africa at all when this clip is set, and it implies a conflict of interest that didn’t exist (while overlooking the one that did exist with Saudi Arabia).
