The purpose of government is to improve the living condition of its people.
...by taking the resources of one individual or group and giving it to another? Not hardly.
Every man for himself is every man against his brother.
...not every man is my brother.
Survival of the fittest is great in a test tube, but I assure you it won't work for a hungry child or a destitute person who is sick.
...survival of the fittest isn't about the sick or the destitute. It is about the species.
Once in a while when you shave in the morning and stare at the putz in front of you, wouldn't it be nice to see a human being?
...I see a human being who does not believe that it is his fellow human beings job to take care of him. Nor is it his responsibility to take care of societies malingerers.
If I am better than you, which I strongly suspect, you will forgive me for having more hope for this society.
...you are suffering from delusions of mediocrity.
Government is not religion. There are no guarantees of purity. There are no hard and fast rules.
...there are guarantees about corruption in government. It is the rule rather than the exception. The more powerful, the more corrupt.
I love my country and I have nothing but great expectations for it's future.
...and ya find it easy to show your compassion with other people's money.
I don't have time for scared, withdrawn, negative bullshit from undereducated people without enough insight into what a human being is capable of doing.
...then why are ya hanging out here? Me and KTC are the only two on this board who aren't that way.
I am pretty secure in my values.
I value human beings.
...value of human beings? I wish I could buy most folks for what they are worth and sell em for what they think they are worth.
Liberals are like a "Slinky". Totally useless, but somehow ya can't help but smile when you see one tumble down a flight of stairs!
