"[T]he greatest problem facing the United States today is not racism; it is the disappearance of the can-do attitude that built the country, ... We’ve lost the sense of individual responsibility for our problems, and that’s bad enough. But what’s worse, we’re losing faith in our ability to solve our problems. This acquired sense of helplessness is catastrophic, and it has paralyzed large swaths of the American public – rural, urban and suburban. … Encouraging dependence upon government not only creates generations of helpless people; it inures them to government’s ineffectiveness."

Reader comments about this quote:
This is so very VERY accurate on so many levels. The entrepreneur is all but lost to a working for someone else mentality. A hobby of mine is auto mechanics — NO one rebuilds or fixes anything anymore; just pull and replace. Everything is built with an obsolescence factor, complete with all the justification to go along with it. From the last depression, individuals got creative and built their way out of the financial and other woes. Today's mental requirement on OPM and the government/god is antithetical to solving problems.

    This individual is diverting from a very big obstacle we have to encounter every damn day trying to relate to individuals. The group boundaries have so been reinforced that if I'm not prepared to perform a hideous criminal act with a individual of a different "race" the relationship is over
     You Mrs Hollis are not at all qualified for any analysis of the intense racial divide that our nation is experiencing. This ideal is a tremendous, tremendous problem in our country that racist like you like to avoid at all costs. A social responsible individual in the area of race relationships is of the highest of educational credentials.  A misguided individual in our communities who says, and everyone says it, "I'm not a racist" is stating more qualifications than the highest of academics creditials. You racist have no respect for life and kill without remorse. You don't know what the hell you're writing about.

    You're simply out of your mind. Two individuals of different groups will go on a killing spree and claim their victim(s) are racist and claim since that performed this act collaboratively they are absoved from the crimes and their victims are evil racist by default. So much do you value your extra special "god given" gift.
     I understand the problem better than anyone, and the evil empire has designated me the only racist. I have it the other way round and can  prove you are the racist in a fair court of law that you don't bother with by the way. The can do spirit is difficult to realize with a bunch of juveniles running everything. We need to end racism. Sincerely the social responsible.

    Sillik, hahaha / lolololol WHAT?  Your Messiah complex is showing again — what a wonderful understanding you think you have of racism and the evil empire. (I shake my lowered head, laughing uncontrollably). Are you visited often by intergalactic travelers? Is that evil empire that has designated you enimy #1 and racist of this planet or somewhere far / far away? Can you please direct us to the periodical or article that designates you as such?

    Mike, Norwalk, the evil empire only brings individuals together to destroy, no matter the combination. The independent mind creates. Evil empires don't report on creative people in the mainstream, creativity scares the hell out of evil empires. Progress is a cure, however evil imperialist see it as poison. You evil sovereign imperialist are like sheriff Brown, " kill it before it grows." You need to halt your evil progress destroying way. I am progress itself and will lead you to life.

    Correction: Reaching the ideal of racial integration is a tremendous problem with individuals, as you display, diverting and avoiding the priority showing responsibility of addressing this divide. Integration is of the highest priority.

    Sorry, I've calmed, I'm sorry about the out of your mind assertion, but this racial divide cannot at all be underestimated. It must addressed by my credentials. No other credentials suffice.

    The greatest problem facing the United States is sexism. A close second is racism. Mr Fredrick William Sillik is the only responsible individual in both these categories on the entire planet. If you violent racists and sexists would allow his explanation, he could simply explain this phenomenen. See we are words first and foremost, something you sexists and racists simply don't understand.

    You racists and sexists use nothing but violence to make all your points about "I not a racist."  Responsibility must be responsible, nonviolent.

    Finally, Sexism and racism is so broad and expansive a subject it requires tremendous amount of attention and investigation to understand its scope. For all you racists and sexists to say I am not a racist or sexist you mise well say you have a PhD in physics and Math never ever even addressing the subjects, its the same basic misconception. You have to earn responsibilities. I don't speak to myself frequently for nothing. "Oh, that crazy guy talks to himself."
