So many people are great at respecting and advocating liberty, with just one exception. That one exception varies from person to person.
One thing which bewilders me is why those who support "just one" Big Government program don't simply admit it.
It's what you support, it is what it is, admit it, accept it, and move on. Stop trying to make excuses.
Are they ashamed? Do they feel guilt over a painful inconsistency based on feelings? What is the reason they don't just accept that what they advocate is what it is? Embrace what you like and stop demanding others embrace it, too.
I won't accept any exceptions. I won't force you to give it up, I just expect you to not saddle me with the expense and liberty violations that come with it. Live and let live.
When you were young and your heart was an open book
ReplyDeleteYou used to say Live and Let Live (you know you did)
But if this ever changing world in which we live in makes you give in and cry
Say Live and Let DIE
Reality is not "an exception".
ReplyDeleteIt just is.
You can ignore it, and live under protection provided by others.
Or acknowledge it. And try to work within the reality necessary for survival.
Or not.
[and be mindful: ignoring reality is a blindspot, that has consequences]
I completely agree.
