There are a lot of reasons why, if you’re going to start kicking the proverbial dog around the block you should not do it out in public.

I was at this snack place when a person I talked to occasionally starts ranting and raving and fuming to me about,  ” Obama  bailing out those slackers and scammers  and rewarding them by buying them a house with OUR tax money. “

” Really. We shouldn’t help to keep people in their homes, we should go let them live on the streets.” I said.

” Hey. They made bad choices. They deserve it.”

 That’s harsh. So even though we have the ability to help them, we shouldn’t. ” I asked just wanting to make sure I understood the conversation.

” That’s the way it is.”

” So even though the ability to help is there, we should just not use it.”

” It’s about people thinking they’re entitled to things when they’re not. You just don’t get it.”

” You know,  I get it. Really.  Like I know CPR- so if you were having a heart attack I could help you. But do you know what? You didn’t take care of yourself so why should I take time out of my day to reward you by putting air into your lungs and  massaging your heart ? “It sounds like you  may have made some pretty rotten choices in life that damaged your heart and it’s not up to me to bail you out right?”

………….

Well.

Am I right?
