There's another way of statist-think that I hadn't encountered.
I was familiar with the "You won't let me control you so you're controlling me" tactic. but now I've been confronted with the "You don't want to control other people so you're apathetic" angle.
What is it with these people and their obsession with control? Do they really imagine they are helping anyone?
You control you, even if you don't do it well. I'll do the same for myself. If you need help, ask. Anything else is uncivilized.

On a completely different tangent... If I had the money and the temperament for it, which I don't, I would start a cat rescue in the area. So many strays and so many kittens doomed to a hard feral life. It really bothers me. There's a litter of 6-week-old kittens and their mom on my porch and one of the kittens is sick. But I just couldn't handle it emotionally, even if I could afford to rescue and try to find homes for them all. There is no rescue group in town-- the local cop will come pick up strays and destroy them if someone calls. I'm not doing that. Ever. But my heart hurts for them.
