    Yes, but even more important, start teaching the social contract again, because the majority of Americans seem to take joy in the struggling and suffering of their own neighbors.

    Abraham Lincoln said “a house divided cannot stand,” and we got Americans scamming other Americans, laughing at them for it, and calling it rational self-interest instead of sociopathic greed.

      Fuck the social contract. It’s only the have-nots that are encouraged to follow it, meanwhile the others do whatever they want, at the expense of the poor.
