newbieSez: What made A great, was not only freedom, but responsibility AMEN!!

And as Lorne points out economic freedom is one of the things wrong with the way we treat our immigrants.

I don't care if it is spoiled children,
my grandkids,
YOUR grandkids,
the neighbors brats,
or Uncle Milti's proligate progeny,
whenEVER we divorce disasterous economic results from responsibility from outcome,
or to put it another way,
the old if you want to eat, you work, and if you don't, you won't,
then how in the name of all that's HOLY are we "aiding and rescuing," i.e., doing these income-ers any favors?

Isn't death from starvation just about the worst kind of ignominious fate imaginable?

We aren't teaching them how to fish when they arrive,
we're just handing them "filet o'fish" vouchers.

Just how many fish filets can a city full of Russian immigrants wade through anyhow?

Did either of you two hear the Klingon speech today about how King Dong's gonna export Kosovars (20,000) of them to a country where they are forbidden visa overhere & enter the USA?

Boy, we think of everything don't we...

And the stock market rallies s'more, and the shiny yellow falls s'more...

LordyLordyLORDY!!! Have we lost our collective friggin' minds?

Hunchback,

<<Unfortunately, freedom is all that is emphasized today, leaving the
responsibility up to morally and socially mature people.
Liberty means responsibility. That is why most people dread it.>>

Well put!
