30. That strikes me as a very passive way of becoming a doormat.

It is not victimhood or embracing victimhood to recognize that and criticize our government when it drops the ball whether they did it willfully or inadvertently.

That is what this whole business with Reagan and his lack of leadership on the issue of AIDS is about.

If we all take an attitude of "oh well, I guess it's just a consequence or karmic payback" then nothing ever changes.
