Abraham Lincoln's list of ā??cannotsā?:
You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift.
You cannot help small men by tearing down big men.
You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong.
You cannot lift the wage earner by pulling down the wage payer.
You cannot help the poor man by destroying the rich.
You cannot keep out of trouble by spending more than your income.
You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred.
You cannot establish security on borrowed money.
You cannot build character and courage by taking away manā??s initiative and independence.
You cannot help men permanently by doing for them what they could and should do for themselves.

From the beginning of time, life on this earth has never been fair and equitable. There are no guarantees given for your safety and well-being when you take your first breath. Sometimes you are lucky and get good parent(s) that help you make your way as best you can. I agree, its totally unfair that a child would get bad parents. Maybe we should remove all children from their parents, just in case, to be safe?

In my lottery in life, I got crappy genetics. Longevity isn't looking too good for me. But, you know, that's just not fair. Other people get to live to be 100, why not me? So, is it government's or society's responsibility to furnish genetic treatment to "even the playing field"?

Why would anyone think you can legislate the "luck of the draw" and the kismet of life?
