Your notion of social Darwinism might be palatable if the same rules applied to all. But of course that is not the case.

You mean Road Warrior? Is that where we are headed? The tax-free rich in their defended golf club camps with private armies and the poor crushed into crime-infested blighted neighborhoods? News today is since Bush was elected crime in LA's Latin East Los Angeles has sky-rocketed. Not all Bush's fault but maybe no coincidence. And as goes LA so goes the nation, especially with Bush's Three Strikes You're Out which means two-time loser leave the state and move to your neighborhood. What if it gets worse? Our prisons are already overflowing. Cut social programs and goivernment spending and you create a lot of angry unemployed people and their kids are more at risk than ever. 1000 Points Of Light doesn't even make a dent. And harsher enforcement hardens criminals and costs us $50,000 a year to imprison them. Each. Like him or not, Clinton kept peace at home and abroard and everything running pretty smoothly. Tax cuts for the rich take away the first step of the ladder of the American Dream and diminish the American Spirit.
