If you live long enough.. have the government take more and more of what you've earned for yourself to give to those that are unwilling to do for them self people.. I do believe in the statement you don't work you don't eat..
As for racism, I do not believe that I am better than others based solely on the color of their skin, or others are not worthy of life based on their race...
I do reject as acceptable cultures that demonstrate the lack of respect for others. Never met a black person that wasn't racist, and most whites especially those that feel free to call others names and attempt to hold them from their own opinions to be bigots..
I am however a realist, and life and history 1st hand as well as 1 person' removed life experiences have indeed made me more cynical than i would have liked to be at this point in my life. I do not apologize for my opinions or life experiences that I've lived..
on that note, much like my grandmother that was a devote "Southern Baptist bible thumper" (for those of you that use titles to label people) later in life said she came to not approve of abortion, but to see that the choice to terminate an unborn child in many cases was a good decision for the child...
I agree..
