Bolas 5 #26 August 25, 2012 QuoteWhy shouldn't the government made of "We the People..." help the unfortunate who can't take care of themselves? A better question is why can't they take care of themselves and to what escelating level does the government have to do it for them.Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.

Would you go back inside and hope that someone from the government helped the dog? /sigh... Bill, I expect some of the lesser minds here to not be able to understand things like subtext. Don't be coy. You know damn well, that in the dog story, the reader is playing the part of the government taking care of unfortunate individuals who can not fend for themselves. You said it yourself, you'd help the dog. "We the People..." are the government. Why shouldn't the government made of "We the People..." help the unfortunate who can't take care of themselves? We the People are far from being the government in todays system. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rhaig 0 #28 August 25, 2012 Quote Why shouldn't the government made of "We the People..." help the unfortunate who can't take care of themselves? but are you helping them because they can't help themselves, or are you enabling them because they don't want to help themselves. It's a fine line. You don't seem to want to acknowledge it's existence.-- Rob Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
