However, I'm bummed out to see others who don't have enough to eat or can't get an education or proper dental care or many other things. I would say this is normal for someone your age. At some point, smart people become aware that not all problems can be solved. And that it is human nature, once you start receiving handouts, to become reliant on them. Every morning at 7am my cat is standing outside the back door crying for food. The cat, instinctively, could go into the field and kill a mouse. But he won't; he'll stand at the back door crying until I feed him. People are animals, too.

Perhaps what defines a conservative is the ability to drive through the slums of one's city and not feel any ounce of sadness, or to walk by a beggar in Manhattan and not even think about throwing a quarter in his cup. The answer to these problems is not to give more money to the government. It's to give money to a church or crisis center etc. and to go out there and do something about it yourself. Government is not the answer to everything, or even most things. Brian
