Caring Is Free

Reading this article, There is no ‘free’ lemonade today sparked a little fuse in me. Sorry, Terry, I just don’t agree here. Our kids having a giving spirit will not be, nor IS the cause of the economic downfall. The dog-eat-dog mentality is detrimental to the prosperity of our society. We’ve had too many generations of the same dying legislation; our governmental positions have been occupied by dinosaur minds for too long. Their poor insight into the development of our future has lead us to this crippling point. Wanting to take care of each other is NOT the issue. The everyday citizen wasn’t the one getting the bailouts and the onus is not to be placed on our children’s giving mentality. I believe it will be our youth and their forward thinking that will lead the front lines and pull us out. All the while, caring for the fellow man.
