Got to love the touchy felly of this time. Its almost as bad as the anti-bully campaign going on. If there's a bully, the person being bullied stands up and fights back. Say the person being bullied wins the fight, one of two things happens. One, they become friends and everything is all good. Two, the bully becomes a person that gets bullied. Simple easy.

You know, it's that womanish, we mothers need to make sure you don't feel bad. I find myself sometimes getting caught up in it, (feeling sorry for people), and have to remember reality.
I will say neither my mother nor my father thought someone needed to take care of my feelings. I fought for myself, and my little brother.

As well you should have.
But, you would probably get in trouble these days for not letting "them" take care of you and your brother, diagnose you with some type of mental illness and prescribe you some of those fancy new psychotropic candies.

It is all part of the program.
As a Deputy to the Legislative Assembly, Mr. Bastiat was studying and explaining each socialist fallacy as it appeared.. He explained how socialism would inevitably degenerate into communism. But most of his countrymen chose to ignore him.
Just as those do today do; by ignoring the few that try to warn us.
IMO - The best rational explanation of socialism vs liberty ever written is Frederic Bastiat's 'The Law'.
If America and Europe would have followed the wisdom in his pamphlet (published in June, 1850 at the time of the French Revolution); America would have never declined to this decay.
For anyone that has not read it; and appreciates pure rational wisdom, I recommend it.
As long as it is admitted that the law may be diverted from its true purpose--that it may violate property instead of protecting it--then everyone will want to participate in making the law, either to protect himself against plunder or to use it for plunder.
― Frédéric Bastiat, The Law
The social organs are constituted so as to enable them to develop harmoniously in the grand air of liberty. Away, then, with quacks and organizers! Away with their rings, and their chains, and their hooks, and their pincers! Away with their artificial methods! Away with their social laboratories, their governmental whims, their centralization, their tariffs, their universities, their State religions, their inflationary or monopolizing banks, their limitations, their restrictions, their moralizations, and their equalization by taxation! And now, after having vainly inflicted upon the social body so many systems, let them end where they ought to have begun reject all systems, and try of liberty liberty, which is an act of faith in God and in His work
― Frédéric Bastiat 'The Law' published in 1850 leading up to the French Revolution. He was ignored.

Yes....I've used Bastiat quotes before.
But in America, I believe examples must be used that people here can relate to from their experiences in our culture.

I have read no one more succinct in explaining the dangers of socialism vs freedom, and what the purpose of Law should be.
It is more applicable to today than ever.

Boys will be boys and we had fights all the time as I grew up. Of course the fights we had were just kid fights, no one pulled a gun and started shooting up the place.

Yes...that's you though.
Not all people think in the ways you do.
For us simpletons, things sometimes must be expressed in a different manner than how you WANT to see them expressed....get it?

I get it;
Thanks.
I do try to get people to think.
To use their brains.
To try and stop some of the knee jerking.
But that is just me.
It will all come out in the wash.
So be it.
