You are Responsible

I manage an email list of current and former residents of St. Bernard Parish. Although the list is predominately about the people and events of St. Bernard, we do veer off into state and national politics.

St. Bernard is a very much a “red” parish and most of the commenters on the list have problems understanding the mindset of Democrats and liberals.

In a recent post, someone sent along this PDF file that uses Buddhist doctrine to teach self-responsibility. The poster even commented how things have changed within the Democratic party from the 1960’s when everyone was against “the man” i.e., the government. Now the Democratic leadership wants to become “the man” while the Democratic brethren seem to want to be controlled by “the man”.
