Upon further reflection on this subject I realized a few things:
Many people, including those in this forum, have fought to secure the rights that citizens have; others died. To see folks complain about their situation and not do anything to improve their situation is a slap to the face. You give them the opportunity and they squander it.
The same goes for socialism; Americans fought and died to secure the freedom of choice; not to have the government make them for you.
I also wish to articulate one idea that I failed to earlier: it's not capitalism that failed; it was some folks that have. I simply think some take advantage of the system; which happens, this isn't a perfect world. I think this is a failing in the culture, on equal parts of the public and it's leadership.
The past two discussions I've had were meant to spark interesting discussions; perhaps of my own ignorance, that failed. I'm going to do what sluggos do best now: post less and read more.
Thanks,
CW
