No one wants to accept personal responsibility anymore. They cry out to the government "we need money for welfare programs" because they don't wanna work. "Lower the passing grades" cause their children don't want to study. "Make pot illegal" because they trust government to regulate personal moral choices better than individuals.
This society of self entitled lazy citizens, both republican and democrat but don't identify themselves as American, are suckling off the tits of a system that threw them overboard 50 fucking years ago.
