There's no doubt that many, if not most, people believe not only that government should <i>do</i> something, but that government has the ability to <i>fix</i> whatever mess happens to exist at the moment. What people refuse to realize is that when one abrogates one's own personal responsibility to take care of one's self and one's family, one merely signs away his/her freedom and autonomy in favor of the (soft?) shackles of bondage.<br /><br />I'll take my chances and the responsibility, including possibly screwing it up, primarily because the odds of some government entity doing a better job are minimal, in my view.<br /><br />Cheers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
