Mark Steyn described the point in my previous blog really, really well:

Before you yawn over what's happening in Britain regarding the riots, please understand it matters to us! Consider for a rational moment whether we're headed down the same socialist path and whether you really are okay with going where they are now.
There's no substitute in a civil society for personal responsibility. Responsibility for one's life and livelihood. Toward one's family. Toward one's community. Toward one's country. Together citizens can do what needs to be done better, faster, cheaper than what government is proving more and more they're incapable of doing without causing more problems than they fix.
I get SO TIRED of our so-called representatives' claims about "unintended consequences" resulting from their increasingly over-reaching socialistic endeavors. They say they're doing it all for The People when in fact they're only trying to buy votes in the next election rather than doing what will keep our country economically healthy. They implement programs that do half as much as they promised and cost twice as much. Then, after the costs spiral out of control, they tell us, "We know it costs way more than we said but you don't understand, you have to pay for it now"! Do you really think all those entitlement programs that are bankrupting our country are good for us? What our government is doing (and how so many Americans eat it up!) is simply SICK! And seriously damaging to our culture just as is playing out in Britain.
