The more deeply I look into any issue, the more clear it becomes that history and society are to blame for where we are now as a group. I can see the blame for these kinds of people falling on the way they were raised, and it becomes very abstract and conceptual. I guess my interest in writing this is in revealing to people who abuse social security/disability how they are perceived by others (chiefly me as this is my blog).A Cynic Sittin' Shivahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03955393450595235461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3997466766187388428.post-53966483695025869572012-01-17T13:16:20.539-05:002012-01-17T13:16:20.539-05:00I understand and share your frustration here.

However, how many of these people were: 1) raised in a dysfunctional family atmosphere that was inappropriate for instilling a sense of personal responsibility and/or 2) suffer from underlying mental issues? It would be nice to think that empowering Social Security to distinguish between individuals who are voluntarily and involuntarily incapacitated would "fix" the problem, but it wouldn't - the roots still exist and I don't think there are any clearcut solutions to these underlying problems.<br /><br />In as much as you might consider them failures many are also products of a system which has failed them. I'm not offering this as an excuse for them and I'm also not saying the system is "OK" but these are things that need to be considered.Forrestnoreply@blogger.com
