The whole point for even writing a class is for shared attributes.
Write procedural code if you don't like classes. When ever you see
self.var think of it as Class.instance(var)... makes total sense to
me? Obliviously you have not done much procedural coding or you would
know why this HAS to be. sorry if i sound rude.
