I disagree with too much about what you said to go point by point right now and while a lot of people suck, there are good hard working people out there, I know cause Im one and so are the people I surround myself with. I am self made as are the people around me, we are all community conscious, i even started my own charity of sorts.

more and new laws leave us at the mercy of those who hold power; people usually so far removed from us we have little in common, people who because there are so many laws, many of them money making vehicles for entities and people ranging to the city government to lawyers whom are active in help making and pushing for new law because of this.

People in our society have become dependant on government, lost their feelings of personal responsibility, become unengaged, feel entitled with out merit and apathetic. Hell its kept democrats in office in a lot of places for a long time including my home state of louisiana despite miserable failure after miserable failure. Their ability to make so many people think that with out the democratic party old people are going to starve and children will be begging for dented cans of cream corn on the street in mass, slavery will return and so will the oppression of women is frankly astounding. The politics of fear the democrats have mastered for so long has now been picked up by the republicans, hell, it works. go with a winner. and no, Im not a republican, I just really dislike the democrat party mindest and see it as a cancer that has now spread to the other major party and said cancer is eating away at my country. the emotional knee jerk masses, whom ultimately are to blame, have in large part changed the republicans in to democrat light making the "pepsi challenge" that is our elections even more of a draw.

Unless Im hurting people, I dont want these people, whom know little about me or people like me, people I probably wouldnt like very much ,trying to tell me whats good for me and taking away my ability to choose anything else.

I believe in the power of the individual, I think people should be held accountable for their bullshit if it is hurting people and I dont believe there is any excuse to be a sorry piece of shit ever, I dont believe the world owes me or anyone else anything, I think the community and locals are better at charity than the feds or state will or can ever fucking be and if you choose to be a sorry ass (cause everyone who is, has chosen to be), things should be made really difficult for you, which happens by your own hand anyway ultimately usually even if someone or some cause has chosen to excuse you, coddle you and enable you. Government will never law us all into safety or comfort and even if they could, I dont want the trade off, thanks.

Im rushing, so it isnt very fluid, my back ground is of course an important part of why I have the views I have. Ive seen them tested, and am a fan of merit.
