We have seen the enemy, And he is us

"We have seen the enemy. . .And he is us . . ."
Pogo . . .Okeefenokee Swamp, 1958. (Walt Kelly)

The single biggest problem in the world today is lack of self-control. The ability for each one of us to keep our own actions in check has eroded to the point of a national crisis. There are long lists of problems that can be traced back to a lack of self control, from adultery and Abuse to Overeating and Sloth, almost no one is immune to problems stemming from a lack of personal control. I guess my suggestion for a solution is that we should each focus more on ourselves instead of trying to mandate society to fix our problems. It seems like we in the United States are trying to force the government to make decisions for us that we should be making on our own, and then blaming the government when we mess up. Newsflash: You are responsible for your life. No one else cares if you succeed or not, nor should they. They have to be busy taking care of their own business. And once everyone realizes that they must take responsibility for themselves and stops trying to remove sawdust from others eyes while having planks in their own, we will all be better off. So my pledge to you is to take care of my own business and trust you to take care of yours. Good luck.
