I've been doing my History homework lately (weird, right?) and I noticed something very interesting that happens often during the course our past.
Supplication.
If you don't know, supplication means a figure of authority supplying those who need their help, but can't get what they require.
You might say to yourself, "Hey, that's not such a bad idea!" It is.
Take healthcare and the welfare system for example. As Rush Limbaugh would say it, "I inspire people to think, to get up and do things for themselves. Barack Obama inspires them to sit down and wait for the government to take care of their lives!" The government's job is to protect us, not to control us. Not only does that mean that they shouldn't pass excessive laws, but it means that they shouldn't spoil us, either. We must work for ourselves. We must pursue our own happiness.
A life of leisure and a life of laziness are two things. There will be sleeping enough in the grave. -Benjamin Franklin
