Although highly commendable Lib, not everyone has that same capacity.

I agree that everyone should do their very best with the abilities they have personally been given; but we have to accept that there is a on the whole a proportion of people out there who cannot, for various reasons, rise to the occasion so to speak.

Even though it may at times seem very unfair, we all win in the long term; if money/help is allocated to enable a proportion of people who would otherwise be a life long drain on society to become productive within that society, it makes the strain on society considerably less in the long term.

We also have to accept that a proportion of society is never going to be able to be lifted up and become productive members of society, no matter what help/support we provide; that is a situation we have to accept and cater for, no matter how unfair it may appear on the surface. Seriously, being rational, civilised human beings what else can we possibly do?
