Ummm .... naw.
We are a society. If one doesn't want to enjoy the benefits of society, in exchange for the obligations, but rather would prefer a world of rugged individualists with zero societal obligations, it may be better to join up with the sociopaths.
Oh, wait. That would make "sociopaths" a societal group. They don't "do" groups.
This is too existential for me  |
So you make a point using something that everyone will feel strongly in support of. Unfortunately it has nothing whatsoever to do with THE point. Nice attempt at deflection. We are not taking away anything from the first responders. We are spending 7.4 Billion of of which we don't have... Societal Obligations is right. We have an obligation to our children and our childrens children to not let them live in a broke third world country. What's next ??? 5 Billion for families of Alaskan Crab fisherman who lost their lives at sea?
