That’s all well and good if you are in fact free to choose. Half the jobs in the country today pay less than $34,000 a year. If you’re trying to get by on that, maybe feed and clothe a few kids too, you aren’t free to do anything but struggle to survive. If we want widespread liberty, the kind our great lady of the harbor offered, we have to make food, health care and education broadly available. Social Darwinism (which I’m not suggesting you advocate, Carol) is not a platform for liberty, it is an excuse for selfishness.McCord Claytonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00341524921094467756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1677054195356770838.post-82135450293163340612012-08-03T13:31:43.396-07:002012-08-03T13:31:43.396-07:00So cynical!
