Something to Think About
"You cannot legislate the poor into freedom by legislating the wealthy out of freedom. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friend, is about the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it." ~~~ The late Dr. Adrian Rogers , 1931 to 2005 ~~~

Wow, What you are reading lately. This goes right along with those pictures of that protest in Arizona that you sent along to us all. Thanks for this. You are a smart and cool lady.

I am surprised no other comments sprung up. This has been a big issue that people watch the news and feel like I did the right thing, why do I have to be punished by policies that resulted from the bad behavior of others?
I think this is the natural and correct individual tendency. I will post more on this on the lokodi blog.
