"Pain is good and adversity builds character!"
"Pain is just weakness leaving the body."
"I've never seen hard work kill anyone..."
-- 1LT Winter, Series Commander, Fox Company, 2nd RTBN, MCRD San Diego, CA. 1979
What is happening to Western Society? We once embraced the Protestant Work Ethic and aspired as citizens to make a positive contribution to our society, rather than be a drain on society. There was virtue in giving to others out of one's abundance and shame in being on the receiving end of charity. Today, it seems that nobody cares about things like honor, integrity, character... Those that do work, don't care about the quality of their work; they just slop their work and their only interest is getting paid. They feel entitled to high wages for performing substandard work. Yes, I'm generalizing, but I challenge you to defend those who don't want to work and instead, prefer to let others support them. Like ticks on a dog, too many and they will kill their host. This country is in danger of going insolvent. THAT! Not Global Warming/Climate Change is the greatest threat to the future of our Constitutional Republic!
