Its not "either/or". I myself am successful individual who shares and sometimes manages to "go green" to the extent that I can in any given situation.<br /><br />Plus, schools are not really teaching "going green". The amount of waste in the US public and private school systems is atrocious. I know because I volunteer at them sometimes and see first hand what they are being taught. <br /><br />As far as "sharing", spoiled bratty American kids especially need to be taught the value of it. That in no way impeded individualism or success, in fact it aids both of those.<br /><br />Practice! Practice!

It makes perfect sense that Ms. Kijera promotes the health and welfare of the collective over personal health and safety. You are correct; her value lies in the collective; she recognizes she's just another brick in the wall. <br /><br />It also reminds me of stories of female 'activists' who are regularly raped in Gaza by Islamic 'militants' and are encouraged by fellow leftist females not to say anything lest it diminish the cause. <br /><br />Nothing says you're a pawn like getting raped and then agreeing to cover it up.MarkPnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8358039.post-70526445212685188402013-01-25T12:39:15.167-08:002013-01-25T12:39:15.167-08:00These people always believe; if just more aid mone...These people always believe; if just more aid money arrived, everything would be fixed. It is just like Merlin at 8:59 pointed out. Oh the UN can fix everything, if only they had more money.<br /><br /> Well honey there is a reason, that over a trillion dollars in post WWII aid money has not helped Africa. Most Third World backwaters including Haiti, have no rule of law. Not only are there no private property laws, but criminal law is also a joke. Looks like she found that out, the hard way.<br /><br />The Third World has no hope of developing, until the rule of law is established. Some things you have to do yourself. White people can not be blamed, for a lawless state in Haiti. <br /><br />Hopefully some day in the future, these places will get their act together. But in the meantime, most aid dollars will end up in a Swiss Bank account.

Besides that, everything else would only add to the quality of life, NOT sustain it. Therefore, are these skills / professions "worthless?" <br /><br />Protip: This list would also include plenty of technical fields like telecom, aeronautics, and geology. We got along fine for thousands of years without phones, planes, or oil. So are these "non-essential" professions worthless?<br /><br />Again, not trying to defend the scum in the story, just trying to show you that "Value" is relative.Don't Work In Hati, Apparentlynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8358039.post-23949877905580556882013-01-25T11:42:11.447-08:002013-01-25T11:42:11.447-08:00The worst part about this disgusting excuse for a ...The worst part about this disgusting excuse for a human being... she procreated and her offspring shares the same mental disorder she has.<br /><br />http://lormariesplace.com/amanda-kijeras-son-clarifies-his-mother-holding-the-white-man-responsible-for-a-black-mans-decision-to-rape-her/MonkeyLeaderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12786937355300152486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8358039.post-74028877406142321012013-01-25T11:41:14.762-08:002013-01-25T11:41:14.762-08:00The worst part about this liberal wretch?

Crusaderism needs to be stamped out for good and governments love to perpetuate and encourage it.<br /><br />I looked up Thom Hartmann's background and behold!<br /><br />http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thom_Hartmann#Early_life<br /><br /><i>Hartmann was born in Grand Rapids, Michigan, the son of a staunch conservative Republican, atheist father and a Christian mother, and grew up in nearby Lansing, Michigan. His paternal grandparents were from Norway. Interested in politics from a young age, he campaigned for Barry Goldwater during the 1964 presidential election when he was 13. Although a gifted student, Hartmann was expelled from high school during tenth grade and later earned a GED. <br /><br />Hartmann enrolled at Lansing Community College and transferred to Michigan State University, majoring in electrical engineering. In 1968, Hartmann opened his first business, a repair shop named The Electronics Joint located next to Michigan State University and became a part-time disc jockey at local country music station WITL. With Students for a Democratic Society (SDS), Hartmann protested against the Vietnam War."</i><br /><br />He apparently got three more degrees in herbology and homeopathic medicine, so it seems like he's actually done and studied certain things of merit before becoming a talk show host. Exceptions to the rule do exist! Sort of reminds me of Michael Savage, except that he seemed to start out as an Allen Ginsberg befirending liberal and then shifted towards conservatism much later on.<br /><br />I haven't listened to him, but based on what I could find, he sounds like a much better liberal host than most of the other ones I know about and look at this.<br /><br /><i>Many guests appear on the show purporting points of view on diverse social and political topics. Some guests proffer progressive views similar to Hartmann's, but more than half are conservatives, libertarians, or Ayn Rand Institute members who espouse opposing views. A vigorous debate with the host usually ensues. There are four regular guests on the program, and they are sympathetic to Hartmann's political views. Sen. Bernie Sanders (Ind.-VT) appears every Friday during the first hour of the show titled "Brunch with Bernie". Ellen Ratner of the Talk Radio News Service provides Washington commentary daily. Victoria Jones who is the White House correspondent for Talk Radio News Service appears occasionally as does Dr. Ravi Batra an economics professor at SMU.</i><br /><br />The guy doesn't even consider himself a progressive or a liberal, but a radical middle guy.

The idea that the people on the left put their ideology above their self-interest is simply an extension of the self-aggrandizing attitude of "Selflessness" that they are always talking about - and frankly, I'm surprised that you of all people would believe it. If you look at democrat voting blocks, you have welfare recipients who want more money from others, you have public school teachers who want more money for doing less work (while doing a terrible job by any objective standard), you've got college professors that work even less than the public school teachers who make even more money and still they want even more money from other people - both for their growing salaries and their worthless research that nobody cares about (ie The Mating Habits of South American Fruit Flies), you've got small business owners who want tax loopholes, you've got corporations looking for handouts, you've got union members who want more power, you've got all sorts of other special interest groups that want more for themselves at the expense of others, but at no point will you find a group - small or large - that consists of people voting against their self-interest because they care about others. Make no mistake about it, they NEVER put their ideology above their own self-interest. They may believe that they are only voting that way to "help others" and they rarely see the long term consequences of their actions, but for all intents and purposes they definitely aren't putting their ideology above their self-interests.
