the human race is divided into three types of people - the purples, the greens, and the oranges.

the purples want to get the better of their fellow creatures - to be rich and famous, or failing that, to have more and better possessions than their fellows, or failing that, to enjoy the discomfiture of their fellows as they try and fail to navigate the slippery sidewalks of life.

the greens just want to get along, and want everybody to get along.

the oranges think people should get along, and that if they do not, they should be made to get along.

which are you?

what percentage of the human race do you think are purple?

what percentage green?

what percentage orange?

if you are a green , who do you fear more - the purples or the oranges?
