We live in an age of negativism, one in which our leaders' decisions seemingly must be scrutinized or faulted beyond reason. If Universal Health Care had been introduced in, say, 1962, nary a soul would have questioned JFK's motives, and most instead would have correctly assumed that he had the nation's best interests in mind. In contrast, this day and age's cultural paradigm dictates that every move our elected officials make is corrupt and subversive, and driven by some nefarious, ulterior motives.
The point is, while we obviously shouldn't follow our leaders blindly, we should recognize and respect their honest intentions. We should look at ourselves before dumping our blame on whoever we've elected to lead the nation.
