Live and Left Live Policy

Live and Left Live Policy
I learned many years ago, I have zero responsibility for how another person lives their life. I also know I have no responsibility for the feeling of others, that is 100 percent their job, it is not truly possible to offend others, they offend themselves.

I suppose in a live and let live policy stance we just keep our mouths shut so there is no backlash if we do open our mouths. I know the road of least of resistance is to not criticize or give opinions. Then if I am to criticize make sure everyone is already in agreement on the complaint, where by I am not criticizing, I am just agreeing.

I have truly been enjoying how everyone in the USA is blaming everyone else for all the problems of the world. I think we need to sent them all to a 12-step program, they would all be getting some harsh reality thrown in their faces.

“You cannot make another person responsible for your life.”

- The government is not responsible for my money, I am.
- The president is not responsible for my life.
- The price of oil is not controlled by one person
- A war is not fought by one person
- I would guess 50 percent of Wall Street are Democrats.

Too funny, maybe the whole world is dysfunctional, and truly being a functional, reasonable, and responsible human is abnormal.

  • I totally agree with you Andy, "live and let live" is a libertarian motto.A lot of people in government want you to pay for other people's failures (while they take a cut for themselves.) But I truly believe that people are entitled to all of the fruits of their labor... And that means that things like income taxes shouldn't exist. Neither the Republicans nor Democrats believe in that motto, they are all for bailouts and social programs.Recently, the four third-party presidential candidates got together and told the press of four main issues they agreed on, that the two major parties don't. They are:1) Withdraw the troops from Iraq.2) Repeal anti-privacy legislation such as the P.A.T.R.I.O.T ACT.3) Eliminate the federal reserve (who can print money out of thin air) and return control of the money supply to Congress.)4) Stop increasing the national debt.Neither party represents the best interests of hobo travelers. If you vote, I would recommend voting for anyone besides Obama or McCain!

  • Hmm, I am not in favor of less government....I live outside the USA, and for sure I wish the government on these countries would do anything to help their people.I am saying, be a good person, try to avoid getting involved in all these messes. AND if you start to complain, forget it, the problem is yours, do not even start to say someone else caused your problems in life, you are 100 percent for eveything good or bad that happens in your life.

  • Well, you have more experience than me, but in my experience government is bad. In any situation people can find an agreement without having to bring guns and force into the equation. If we had no government, there would be a lot more money around to send to charities or directly where it is needed, instead of giving it to politicians who use it for political gain.If most people are good people, then we don't need government. If most people are bad people, than how can government (elected by the majority) do good?

  • Most people are NOT good, they will lie, cheat, and be as corrupt as they can get away with.However, when it comes to killing, then most people are good, they do not naturally kill.Cheating of other people is the norm on the planet.The USA is one of the few exceptions, where the power of the goverment makes everyone to afraid.

  • Hi Andy, I totally agree with you on how we each create our own life circumstance. The older I get the more I am aware of just how much we Americans seem to feel "entitled" and with that comes "victimized" should something not go our way. I am astonished by this. I was having dinner with friends last week and the oil crisis was brought up, one of the most political aware women of my group had an "us against them" comment. It amazed me that someone so intelligent could have such a childish take of the world view. This is all making me become a better listener, ha ha, because I cannot even comment on the BS! I know everyone is going to see it the way they see it so I just keep my mouth shut. I also feel judgemental about it because I think, "WHAT AN IDIOT!" Maybe I just need to make new friends who see everything the way I do. HA HADo anybody else fee this way? Sharon
