omething that most people seem to forget is that the government is supposed to be an agent of the people, not the other way around. While it is important for the government to help those who are down, it is also important that it not interfere too much in the lives of its citizens. It is for this reason that I have highlighted the "causes" to the left.

I know that these issues are somewhat controversial. Although I am more than willing to have a frank discussion about any of these issues, do not email telling me that I am an idiot or anything like that. If you don't agree with me, that's fine too -- just move on and read something that you do agree with.
