Am I my Brother’s Keeper?

[Still Thinking]

Sometimes life forces us to make decisions, even when we don't have enough information to know how the decision will turn out. The risks may be even greater when people make decisions for other people. Yet there are some who are not only willing, but eager, to take decisions away from those who are directly affected.

Their success in making those decisions, while admittedly abysmal, is almost beside the point. The POINT is the theft of the self-determination of others. That's infinitely more important than any tangible possession you might have. If someone steals your money, you can go get some more. If someone steals your freedom, your autonomy, where do you go to get more of that???

The left just paid a very high price for a lot of their twaddle - they lost the Presidency, both houses of the legislature, and a lot of governorships. And they lost their rising stars in the 2014 clean-up. They only have 74 year olds and 18 year olds in the running any more. Haha.

The left must be made to pay a price.

Permanent loss of political power.

The question is where to draw the line. I would think that the line should be drawn at the point where your actions negatively affect someone else in a serious way.
