Perhaps they should look to themselves.

I heard an excellent thing years ago - when Jackson 1st went to Washington, he voted to help something or the other. Later, he actually apologized to his constituents, because he realised it wasn't his place to force them, to decide for them what charity was worthwhile.

Our attitude towards government reminds me of Homer Simpsons' campaign slogan - 'Can't Somebody Else Do It?'
