Man I just don't get it. When did wanting to help others become a bad thing? Yes, as I am sure you already guessed, I am a liberal (not exactly as you described though pH) I understand that some of our current systems are a drain in their current form, but rather than cut off all help and crawl into a corner petting our "precious" why not make changes to improve our systems. People need help and that is a reality. All is not equal here and all do not have the same opportunities.
Just as a small example here in LA, we have schools in South Central that have 1 book to every 2 students and then you have schools in the Pallisades with new books every couple of years and at least 1 per student with extras just in case. Then when a community trys to come together we are not allowed to donate books instead we have to give the money to the district who determines where the money is to go. Which if they were doing that job right in the first place we would'nt be faced with this problem. Yeah......I got your equal hangin....
Look I know that is not the nicest thing to say but when did it get so that idealism and reality could not coexist. And how is it that a military man can not be idealistic. You risk your life for idealism, to help someone, your country who is your family and who are your neighbors, your friends and even complete strangers. You are idealism at it's best because you are idealism in action. F U C K that, I spent the first 20 some odd of my life not giving a mad F U C K about anything and I will not be part of that anymore.
You guys argue about what is wrong with this country and it is right in front of you. Nobody gives a crap about anything or anyone ecept for themselves and that is your "reality" in action. Thank God the founding fathers did not hold your same ideals because if they did there may have never been a US of A a county founded on idealism.
