This is really rather depressing. If there is an attitude that can
subdue the spirit of individuality and a charter that denies the
individual the mobility to do with his life as he pleases, this screed
embodies it. What was once a burgeoning optimism in the youth of a
foundling nation in whose design lay the seminal notion of the
empowerment of the individual, there is now a gloomy surrender to the
premise that the individual must subordinate his potential to the
state, for the good of the state and the security of all. The
pretense of a duty to the state by the individual for the common good
is nothing more than a perfidious ploy to bridal any passion for
individuality and personal responsibility. The extended hand of the
collective is the hand that robs the individual, and it serves as a
cruel metaphor for the villiany of unbounded aspirations. It is an
unwarranted disdain for the successes of the inspired individual that
drives this pernicious philosophy, a comportment that disguises itself
as dutiful compassion. Fortunately, that 'compassion' has been
exposed in this thread for what it is - envy, superciliousness,
condescending patronage, contempt, and hate. Describing one's loyalty
to the middle class does not palliate a personal loathing of the less
fortunate, and it does not elevate the world of insults that defines
you.

Bye now.

I haven't taken the time to view the graphic; but, from what you've
described I can surmise that Harry has taken the forbidden path to the
ad hominem, a true exercise in futility.
