People are taking less personal responsibility for themselves today?

plan reasoning for all that they do wrong. Its an excuse for some, and a true life tradegy for others that still live with the memories.

Society is increasingly becoming lax on both repeat offenders, celebrities and drug addicts. There are many women in New York state that recieve free rehab services almost yearly. There are many repeat offenders that, one of whome single handedly cost the County over 25,000 dollars with her decade of repeat offenses including numerous stints in jail and three times for long term court ordered rehab. Our taxes pay for people to knowingly break the law and recieve slaps on the wrist. It is a large example of the lack of responsibility. It should also be known that 75% of women in prison are mothers, according to a publication by Seymore and Hairstan. Fronczak has four children. All four have a criminal history and are between the ages of 12 and 18yrs old.

This is just an example of how poor choices and lack of responsibility will in the end rob our own children from being taught the right way from the wrong way and how to be a productive member of society. Some of our citizens may never view the darker sides of the lives ruined through falling morals and parenting. However, we need to understand that with every bad decision there is the chance it will hibernate and flourish three more decisions or even rise to bite us in the rear end years to come. She is an example of how we are wasting tax money. I would rather spend my tax dollars on helping the youth offenders that still have a chance to turn themselves into respectable members of society. I would rather spend tax dollars on the homeless shelters and the food banks than to donate it to a rehab clinic.

Unfortunately we need to admit that most of our problems are brought on by ourselves or from the ignorance and poor decisions of our ancestors and government bodies of the past.
In order to clean house, America, we need to put down the foot of justice and show this country that we do not want to be a country filled with thieves, murderers and child molesters. We need to force those to take responsibility that refuse to. Onlt then will we be able to adjust society ourselves. Those that refuse to contribute to change in a sense must be comfortable where they are at.
