Whatever happened to personal responsibility?

Does any one ever wonder why we need directions on simple everyday items, like shampoo? I am amazed everyday when I hear the news at the stupidity of the people of this world. What amazes me more is the fact these people and their surviving families blame everyone else for their stupidity.

Case point today. We are trying to blame McDonalds' for childhood obesity. Really? Can anyone with a half wit not see that this is true ignorance. Stupid people have been coddled and protected by our legal system and government for so long, I guess we are now incapable of making any sort of reasonable decisions for ourselves. What next, outlaw ice cream?

Why not just back off and let nature take its course? Natural selection if you will. If only our legal system would refuse to bring to court these lawsuits that rewards the stupid of the world for being stupid, perhaps, just perhaps, folks would start thinking for themselves and take responsibility for the results of their actions.

Stupid will always be there, this I understand, but, come on folks, we gotta quit rewarding it! No more free handouts if you are dependent on drugs or alcohol. No more free medical care because you partied so hard you killed your liver and braincells. No more out of court settlements because you didn't listen in school and are too stupid to understand how the world works.

If you don't let me correct my child and take the power away from the teachers and police, DO NOT be surprised that they turn out to be a problem. Law enforcement cannot violate our civil rights even if we violate everyone elses. Parents cannot use physical force to control our children and standing in a corner for an hour is now cruelty. Don't even suggest washing a kids mouth out with soap. And they wonder why things can't be as simple as they used to be. Therapy replaces getting up and dusting off your britches, when life kicks you. We have disorders now. Hoarders used to be packrats, and overeaters were not a problem, if you were also overworked to get that food.

I love modern convenience, but come on, you gotta take responsibility and use your brain. If your pants don't fit anymore, maybe you need to get up off the couch and get some exercise. Choose vegetables over french fries for a couple of weeks. Its not Mcdonalds fault your kid is fat. Take him camping instead of parking him in front of the computer with a happy meal. You want to blame someone for the worlds problems, look in the mirror. Its got to change one person at a time. Start with yourself, it may just catch on........
