Reparations can only be a good idea if YOU are on the receiving end of the check. Even then, they can be a bad idea. Perpetuating the notion that "help" is needed to "level the playing field" only serves to keep the recipients dependent. Unless that dependency is a good idea, then reparations are bad for the recipients. It is what Mark Twain called a "corn pone" opinion: "Tell me where a man gets his corn pone, and I'll tell you what his opinions are." Good one. I'll have to remember that. 1HappyFool |
