I just don't get it...I can sympathize with folks who rightly point out the dangers of moral decay such as the victim mentality, irresponsibility, etc. What I can't understand is why they think government enforcement is the way to fix it. Can they truly not realize that it is in the government's interest to create group after group of subsidized victim classes who will then cast their votes accordingly? Why, in the face of all evidence, do they ignore the fact that a government with the freedom to decide and enforce what's moral can claim that *anything* is immoral then use it as an excuse to take away the bill of rights?

" I just don't get it.."

I don't either. On the one hand, we (both BIG L and small l) are insignificant and can't garner even 1% of the vote. Then, on the other hand, we are responsible for every failure of mankind and our entire political system even though "WE" have never been in charge of anything. But they want it both ways, don't they?

I resent the the control freaks no matter which end of the political spectrum they find themselves.
