- How is it that you get that attitude about ALL US DITTOHEADS!
- I really resent that!
-
- There are poor people: that's a fact! BUT which poor people do we
- end up helping today? Some would argue, with good reason, that the
- government supports the deserving AND the underserving. I think
- even you would agree with that. I think what many on this net
- would say (at least I hope they would) is that blind government
- handouts do little to foster any self-esteem in any of the
- benefactors. The quality of self-esteem is internalized in each
- individual by what he/she DOES. The government is ill-equiped to
- provide incentive for development of moral strength and character
- of the undeserving person eating the government's lunch. That's
- why, in these cases, the government should stay clear and, hopefully,
- someONE will take the time and effort to turn these folks around...
- On personal encounters and by example...TEACH THEM! If they do not
- learn to survive, they die...it is that simple. This goes back to
- what you may have heard others say in the past: "you cannot help
- those whom refuse to help themselves." And, I dare say, that you
- SHOULD NOT. Not if you want to keep your sanity!
