Abraham Lincoln said it best when he observed that You can not help men permantely by doing for them what they can and should do for themselves. How are individual to sustain themselves if they don't know how to? Would we send a four year old to work as the CEO of Microsoft? Would we give a blind man a German Shepard and tell him to train him/her themself? I like to think that this piece of common sense isn't restricted only to conservatism but alas NAACP loves to prove me wrong.
