I believe, to roughly paraphrase Thomas Jefferson, that government should do for the citiizens what they cannot do for themselves. I don't believe that government is suppose to lead in the traditional sense nor is it to protect anything but our physical safety in a national security and law enforcement sense. As far as teaching people how to fish, I disagree to an extent also. if people want to learn how to fish, they will seek out people to teach them and set up schools to learn. I have a problem with the government deciding for us what it will teach annd who it will encourage. I suspect that you and I have a difference of opinion about what the proper role of government is.

Ms. Cox's statements were to be encouraging and inspiring. I feel that she intended to give hope and support to those who face challenges due to physical reasons. What government attempts to do-is what men are expected to do-and that is lead and protect. Further, the job of government is to teach it's citizens how to fish-not to hand them a fish.
