you seem to be kinda ideologically confused - your saying that money is the root of all evil - so that's capitalism yeah? The capitalist system that means we in the west have schooling, healthcare, regular meals, a life expectancy over 70, housing, jobs, disposable income to spend on soft drugs, computers, cars, TVs......
would you be happier with a communist/socialist model? working for the state - well that certainly works on an ideological level.....but then the root of socialism is welfare - ie looking after those unable to look after themselves....all sharing our wealth....and yet you dont seem too keen on a welfare model either.....hmmm
my original quote about "people who say money is the root of all that kills....." was to highlight this contradiction - but i think you've a better job of it than me
Your right about the confused part And I still say imo I don't like only part of my post being used to make that distinction. And since you asked...I Would be happier if young people were being taught that being underage,no education,and having unprotected sex is NOT a good thing that results in millions of single mothers and children with no fathers..and I also would be happy living by Individual State laws without paying huge sums of our money to the Federal Government. Theres much that makes me happy and I may seem contradictory and complex..maybe I am..but you need to think about it this way okay..you say people are unable to look after themselves? So true...people are so dependent...I wouldn't want anyone to suffer needlessly but things need to change..imo
