So, who really does care?

Compassion without capability doesn’t amount to much

If there’s one thing I’ve learned, there’s no shortage of well-meaning people who want the world to be a better place. But, without the willingness to roll up your sleeves and be part of the solution, you run the risk of making the situation worse.

Obamacare is a good example. Its European-styled socialized healthcare system will fail the American people just like Britain’s National Healthcare System (NHS) has failed many of its citizens. When we allow the government in the name of compassion to do for us what we should do for ourselves, individuals become numbers, treatments become quotas, and lack of funding sparks rationing.
