The greatest of uphill battles in today's current climate is trying to push anything in the realm of personal responsibility.

Politicians' whole basis for nearly every campaign is "you're helpless, let us fix it for you."

For the vast majority of problems plaguing society, the answer isn't government, it's for people changing their behavior. Same goes for parenting.

But unfortunately, "you're an adult, figure it out" isn't the greatest campaign slogan (if you want to win).

It wasn’t always this way: “Ask not what your country can do for you — ask what you can do for your country”
