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.
