Who is on "our" side?

[Virtual Bison]

Everyone is on "our" side.

The government is not the solution, if anything it is the problem here.  In this sense "our" side already knows this and protects the free market.  The support groups are needed by the whining nanny state socialists who want big brother to save us all from ourselves.  Their number continues to shrink as more people realize that we do a better job of saving ourselves than the government ever could.

I get your point. Your own success has to do with individual responsibility. But I still undersand that those individuals who are opposed to people's freedom really are a problem because they get in the way of others trying to live their own lives. And, perhaps this even goes beyond education. I think that people sometimes need to get organized to fight what is wrong. For instance, when you have organized crime groups terrorizing a community and a lowly individual cannot fight alone, it often becomes necessary for citizens to join together. I know of one instance where a group of people drove out the riff-raft from their own community.

And I am not just talking about government here. Of course in a democratic society government is the people, but in the country where I live (the United States) this is not necessarily the case. Jefferson said it best, and I will paraphrase when he said an occasional revolution is not a bad thing.
