Let's say you are raising a child. One day you decide that it is unfair to make said child clean their room, so you do it for them. What do you think that child is going to learn?

Perhaps that everything should be done for them? Perhaps that they do not have to clean up after themselves? And what do you think that child will do if you change your mind - will they balk at the notion of cleaning their room? Will they resent you for it?

Back in the early 90's, the Americans with Disabilities Act was passed with the intent of enforcing empathy for persons with disabilities. Unfortunately, the unintended effects of which have been quite the opposite. I'll let Penn and Teller elaborate on that.



But how do we reverse the damage that has been done? We can't exactly just repeal the act. Much like every other government agency created under the guise of public service, the people must be gradually weaned off.

Take for instance Social Security. It was instituted back in the 20's as a means to help sufferers of the Great Depression make it through their retirement. However nowadays, it seems this system has taught the public it's alright not to save up for their future, and the people have forgotten money truth. Of course, the same can be said for Welfare too.

However, if these systems were simply abolished, there would be a lot of people left to the whims of Darwin's Survival of the Fittest. It's sad to say, but we would need to slowly indoctrinate those brainwashed by modern society back into the "School of Normalcy and Personal Responsibility."

And who will, or even can, do this, in a world where most people are so wrapped up in the latest news about brittany spears? Doesn't anybody realize what is truly important anymore?
