The struggle of life is not measured from top to bottom. You may hold the meager position of Social Security recipient, and if you have the answers you are the forward force. While the president of the United States takes us back to the stone age the Social Security recipient takes us to the destiny of social responsibility. -- Fredrick William Sillik, Anytown
Sillik, "social responsibility"? ? ? Now, there is a vague and shallow nonsquitur without definable terms. Where once individual's responsibly prepared for retirement and other needs (including family consideration), malfeasant gods (government) now steal the laborer's fruits by lies and guns - only to keep the masses poor and families in chaos. By your socialist comments, it is becoming very obvious that poverty, pain and chaos are your true measurement of a man's success. -- Mike, Norwalk
