 Another pithy saying:
Cutting Off Your Nose To Spite*Your Face
*Quick word and thought on the word "SPITE"
With apologies to, John Heywood's A Dialogue Conteynyng Prouerbes and Epigrammes, 1562 list this entry under "Of Spite": At this point
If there be any, as I hope there be none,
That would loose both his eyes to loose his foe one,
Then fear I there be many, as the current world go'th,
That would loose one eye to loose their foes both.
In a more contemporary definition, with credit to Marc Hauser, Cognitive Evolution Laboratory, of Harvard University 
Why is it that humans are able to act in ways that create significant cost to others even at their own expense? In most cases where an individual does something to impose costs on another, the underlying motivation for such behaviour is selfish. Given that there are so many other ways other than spite to increase one's relative fitness, the costs of spite should rarely be favoured.
18 months ago we voted for change, major change, (careful what you ask for you may get it) and luckily we got what we wanted. We found a leader that says very simply: "You must be responsible for your self and must participate in your own well being". Unfortunately most people do not understand what our President Obama is doing, he is creating a level playing field and if you want help you have to help yourself first. He is not for more government rather he is demanding you get involved in your Country and basic financial and social responsibilities. 

To the members of the House and Senate who have done nothing, you should be ashamed of your self's,is this why you wanted to serve?
Tea Party and all of its hate and ignorance, remember you reap what you sow!

Now I know why Obama still has a 46% approval rating. You are the crowd that thinks government is smarter than you. The people against this administration can take care of themselves and don't want our rights infringed. I thought the Democrats were "Ask not what your country can do for you - ask what you can do for your country"! I could take every point, but how about just one: If you don't understand you are obese because you eat too much and unhealthy foods, then you are living under a rock. The government making laws about fat content, types of oils, etc etc isn't going to keep you from buying a Snickers bar.

People who think big government has the answers becomes a slave to them. I want freedom to create the life I want, freedom to keep the money I EARN, and conservative victory in November. Yes we will get what we want. There are more of us than there are you!
