Terrible and avoidable; though I fail to see what Socialism has to do with it. People have always been uncaring and hateful toward strangers and others they don't identify with. Ignoring the plight of others, even purposely subjecting them to horrific abuses are common in our history.
Aren't we becoming a socialist nation?Sad and scary, but I could see the same scenario happening here too.
I just think it sad to try to infuse a situation like this as a political action.
Should I therefore consider:
Captalistic Response: Kids would have sold tickets to make a profit on his death
Representative Republic Response: Kids would have formed committees to debate the appropriate way to help then claimed they would have saved him but ran out of time.
Dictatotor Response: It did not happen and he did not have permission.
It was a tragedy. There are things in this world that are not political ploys.
True enough. However, if the OP's main point was that the governmental system under which a people live affects their outlook and behavior, I would agree with it. We can see it here in the good ol' US of A: e.g., the Breeder who has 12 kids and demands that "somebody" better help her out (this example is an active thread on this site). On the other end of the spectrum, the middle class and wealthy are/have been/will be looking to shield their incomes from increasing taxation.
I'm sure we could come up with many such examples in our increasingly socialist society. It's a point well-taken, IMO.
"Socialist" is a mighty ambiguous word these days. What idea were you trying to convey by using it?Aren't we becoming a socialist nation?
If we subscribe to Glenn Beck's concept of Socialism, the U. S. has been a Socialist Nation since at least July 1861 when the income tax was established in the U. S.Aren't we becoming a socialist nation?
More FUD from the ultra religious uber-conservative, paranoid, right wing mental midgets.The federal income was was just one of many attacks on our Republic. The Federal Reserve Act of 1913 was another. We have been seeing an eroding of our freedoms and a movement toward this monstrous socialistic one world government for years. God help us.
