Because if this government ran like it was supposed to it would be near perfect. but greed is causing it to fall apart. this entire country is infected with greed and something must be done. at this rate it will only get worse until the country crumbles.

i think we agree but did poorly in expressing what we were thinking.



We were on the same ground all along! The private sector is where we need to look, we need to depend more on people, not government. Thats the core belief in my stance on this issue.

Responsiblity for our actions and inactions is all I am talking about. I had a daughter young, but did not rely on anyone but myself. I supported her, I raised her, and I educated her. Her mother and I managed to do, sure it was the hardest challenge I ever came across but it made me who I am today. Between the two of us, we completed our degrees and both work in our careers of choice. Niether one of our parents have any education outside of elementary, or do they have any money. We did it ourself, and enjoy every moment we get to reflect on it. Durring the time we were going nucking futs, but it was a lesson much needed. I think responsiblity is a huge issue and it's something we need to push. I feel for the single mother working two jobs, cuz I have been in her position, except I stood by the mother of my child. If your old enough to have intercourse then you better be prepared for the resposiblites of having a child. I do see a need for assistance in many cases, but we as people of this nation should promote those programs. Within our own communites and social networks. We need to remove our dependencies on government before we lose track of our own identities as a people. It's hard but not impossible!!!

Respect
