We're willing to pour billions and billions of our and their dollars in overruns to build transit links to ensure our commutes from pricey south island is fast and efficient. We've even cut the taxi fares for our weekend trips out to Sai Kung to eat seafood or travel home to Sai Kung/Clearwater Bay after those late nights in Lan Kwai Fong/Wan Chai.

We've raised their transit fees twice in the last three years and dragged our feet since the last Central reclamation on spending even 10 cents on finding ways to help them out on their transportation.

But remember we're not selfish, they are.

We've instituted an education policy that ensures our taxes remain low and that HK's resources are properly deployed to educate our children. It's important we limit access to our secondary schools to only the right sorts of students. It would be a shame if we didn't have multiple choices for educational opportunities for our kids at the best schools within 30 minutes of transit.

We've closed the only secondary school within 30 minutes of transit for them because the resources are better spent elsewhere. (Like on our kids). And we've undercut their primary school by putting their rich neighbours' (Discovery Bay) primary school in the HK Island school net but kept their primary school and other Island District Primary Schools out of the HK Island school net, so parents are torn between undermining their community and providing the best opportunities for their children.

But remember we're not selfish, they are.

We've spent billions and billions of their and our dollars and gone to the Court of Final Appeals to ensure that our business district's growth won't be forced to relocate to another part of HK and that we don't have to leave HK Island to get to our highly paid government jobs.

But we were generous and offered them a great development plan. We offered to turn their beaches, where they own and run businesses and restaurants and enjoy the surf, in to private resorts owned by us and gated to keep them out except as minimum wage employees. We offered to turn their beautiful grasslands and hills in to giant container storage areas and turn their fishing and recreation grounds in to a container port full of ships belching high sulfur marine fuel. Obviously they were ungrateful, just like when we planned to build the Super Prison in their backyards and put the main transit bridge for the Super Prison through their town.

But remember we're not selfish, they are.
