  • Time for the American Government and People To Confront Reality [View article]
    The question of individual responsibility vs the responsibility of the group towards the welfare of all, has been debated since the beginning of humanity which occurred back in 1950.

    It might be called the "widow and orphan" problem, for short.

    Let's face it, some people are born into dysfunctional families, and even though many overcome these severe handicaps and even rise to become President of the United States, such as George W. Bush, many fall by the wayside and buy houses they can't afford to live in.

    Telling them to face up to their mistakes is something like doctors telling the five out of six lung cancer patients who smoked cigarettes that they wont treat them because they basically caused their own lung cancer.

    Tempting but not politically feasible.
