I always find it kind of amusing that these people who talk of uplifting people seem to be okay with keeping the lion's share for themselves.

TOTD: Violence begets violence, to the eternal delight of weapons manufacturers.

@oneoffsuit Often organizations' motives are diluted by compromise--the whole cannot act without some agreement to do so by a majority. Individuals are not so burdened, so they find themselves with a greater clarity of mission. Consequently, if an individual associates with "America" by claiming love for it, there is no excuse to not care for all Americans. If they wish to claim love for "white people" or "Democrats" or "Wil Wheaton" then they care for a subset. They cannot claim the whole.

TOTD: A right is not a reason.

@oneoffsuit All organizations, whether private or public, whether governmental or nongovernmental, are responsible for their entire affected population. If an organization is serving only 52%, then it is not living up to its responsibility.

TOTD: America isn't a pile of dirt. America is the people who live here. You cannot love America without caring for Americans.
