Condescending? Is there a word for people who feel superior to people who insult and look down on others?
Isaac Newton said "If I have seen further, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants." That's how I feel. Newton didn't say--"I'm a self made man who amoung other things invented the reflecting telescope with nobody helping me out at all. In fact I'm probably the best telescope maker who ever lived."
I do feel responsible for the failures of others.
I still think the GI Bill is an example of the government trying to pay back the military but it's not affirmative action. I was wrong about that.
affirmative action
an action or policy favoring those who tend to suffer from discrimination, especially in relation to employment or education; positive discrimination.
And I still think we all get help. That doesn't make us helpless if we also help others.
