At no point does she become that adult and take full responsibility for Julia. And if someone else is paying your bills, that gives them control over your life, in Julia’s case at every step. Personally, I’ve never met any kids who talked about how much they love having their parents and teachers tell them what to do, any elderly men or women eagerly awaiting the day they go into a nursing home or any former inmates reminiscing about the simplicity of prison life.
The most disturbing element of Julia is who the president thinks we are. Apparently the administration thinks that we have lost our sense of individuality, of ambition, and yes, responsibility. less

However, when I see things like the kid in this video daring to question something he finds to be erroneous, it leads me to believe that all is not lost. I hope that all this is just the death-throes of Socialism. If I didn't see some hope for that, I'd just give up altogether and go back to whatever I was doing before I got involved in the TEA Party. But no, until I see the results of the 2012 election (provided it's not already rigged, which I hope it won't be), I'm sticking with it. less

There is no maxim in my opinion which is more liable to be misapplied, and which therefore more needs elucidation than the current one that the interest of the majority is the political standard of right and wrong.
There is no maxim in my opinion which is more liable to be misapplied, and which therefore more needs elucidation than the current one that the interest of the majority is the political standard of right and wrong.
Taking the word 'interest' as synonymous with 'ultimate happiness,' in which sense it is qualified with every necessary moral ingredient, the proposition is no doubt true. But taking it in the popular sense, as referring to immediate augmentation of property and wealth, nothing can be more false.
In the latter sense it would be the interest of the majority in every community to despoil & enslave the minority of individuals; and in a federal community to make a similar sacrifice of the minority of the component States. In fact it is only re-establishing under another name and a more specious form, force as the measure of right.

That is if you remember that never everything they did was violent. Most people when you mention their names immediately think only of the violence. But BEFORE the violence was the co-opting of the churches. Bringing the churches in line with their atheistic views. Just like then, now we see a majority of churches (Catholic & Protestant) that no longer follow Christ - that actually deny Christ.
And historically, that very same thing happened in Russia before Lenin, Germany before Hitler and Italy before Mussolini.
Another thing that happened in the pre-WWII era was that all those countries were electing really bad leaders, including at the same time, the United States, Britain and France. Today we see that exact same thing happen with our election of Barack Obama, France's recent election of Francois Hollande, Germany's recent slap at Angela Merkel, and the rise of xenophobic parties in Greece.
It's looking very similar to the pre-WWII era, in my humble opinion. less
