what we did
In
day's gone by we supported one another because we chose to. Weather by
helping at a church or being members of mutual support organizations or
fraternal organizations. We gave support when we could and ask for help
when we couldn't. Pride is not so great a pain when asking a "brother"
or a "sister". But that was a question of can you help me while I get
back up from the dust.
Now our society seems lean more
towards what can the state do for me to help me to provide for me?
Picking ourselves up is hard, even harder when a person has to take a
pay cut to leave public assistance.
Our nation was once a
nation founded on faith. Not just faith in "God" but faith in one
another. Faith in the idea of a truly "new world"
Granted our
fathers and mothers missed the boat on more than one occasion. Slavery,
Indian confinement, the Interment camps for Asians in WWII and even the
current social persecution between one religion and on the other (or
lack thereof)
We should certainly learn from these mistakes.
and then move past them. We can help one another. We don't need the
gov't to do it for us. we can just help one another.
