Absolutely!! Mind and tend to one's
own business. If we even, mostly did that, I think things would have to be better. I've thought this for some time, but seeing someone put it into words makes me think it will be my response to the complainers in my world.

So you don't subscribe to MLK's claim "Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly affects all indirectly" (Letter from a Birmingham Jail).
Sure, but each of us must realize that with rights come responsiblity. Right now, I hear a lot about rights. Seems like we must be responsible to society. "Ask not what your country can do for you..."
Linda, our rights and responsibilites as Americans have nothing to do with injustice, which is what MLK was talking about in 1963, when rights asserted in the Constitution were denied to African Americans. Your claim that we should all "mind and tend to one's own business" does nothing about injustice.

True enough, but I wasn't originally commenting on injustice. More about acceptance and responsibility.
If your world is anything like mine, you'll no doubt be responding a lot.
