Ever read this: Responsibility
When we surrender our responsibility, when we say we are not capable of facing the consequences of being allowed to smoke, or own a handgun, or ride a motorcycle without a helmet, or drink hot coffee in a moving automobile, then we have gained nothing and given away all. There are people who will gladly assume our responsibility in order to have our freedom and our political power. Its a buyer's market.
I haven't read it. I'll have to check it out later, though. I have to wrap up and commute.
