Given that you have been privately e-mailing people so that you won't be banned, I think that speaks for itself.

As for your points, I too believe that we are required to help the least among us. BUT I don't believe that the government has any significant role in doing so-for a number of reasons, which include inefficiency, one-size-fits-all programs which do not meet the individual's need and the fact that many social problems are not materialistic in nature, but rather spiritual (which the SCt has barred the government from addressing). Moreover, government's solutions tend to exacerbate the problem, rather than ameliorating it.

Your point that government does what we as individuals cannot do is well-taken. However, we CAN help these people without government and did so for many years before the Great Society (read the Tragedy of American Compassion by Olasky).

So, please take your stereotypes of those on this forum elsewhere. We're not interested.
