Duty Versus Rights

Brian, Winston Churchill summed it up: "Duty is the greatest word in the language. It reminds us that there are realities greater than self." In our haste as a society to embrace rights of all kind, we have thrown overboard the concept of "duty." Duty means discipline, the right to expect another to measure up, instead of our constant measuring down to the lowest common denominator. You "hit the nail on the head" here. What will change things is scarcity. We will stop babying folks when we cannot afford it. That time is coming quickly.
