I know everything has a simple answer. Maybe not an easy answer....and that’s where the rub comes in....it’s not fun or easy to do the right thing. It’s a lot easier to say it’s someone else’s fault or someone else’s problem. Getting my car and my life smashed by some careless woman has nothing to do with that. And you’re putting words in my mouth again. When did I ever say that a life means nothing unless in the womb? I’ll save toy the time of looking it up....the answer is never.

Are you confusing my work ethic (and the fact that I expect others to work to fend for themselves) with a lack of compassion, for not “caring”? I donate at least 20% of my income to appropriate charities (whose donations go to those that are the intended recipients). I’d rather I determine where my money goes than allow the government to do it for me.
