“You cannot hope to build a better world without improving the individuals. To that end, each of us must work for his own improvement and, at the same time, share a general responsibility for all humanity, our particular duty being to aid those to whom we think we can be most useful.” Marie Curie (1867-1934)
How about “America First” — way too much idealism in Curie’s statement.
👍🏼🇺🇸☝🏼
“America First” is exactly what Mdme Curie’s quote supports. Freedom & individual rights are what America is all about, the individual doing what he or she cares about & making themselves stronger, not reliant on a government & doing what it takes to make our nation a better place. Not depending on, or being too subject to the whims of govt, no matter who’s in charge, depends on the strength & independence of each of us, a strong military, & less snowflakes! Hahaha, it’s getting better!
A quote totally devoid of idealism more fitting today than when Curie original said it . Too bad so many like Mr Rider can’t deal with thought beyond an 8th grade level . As for America First ? All well and good until it devolves into a Make America White Again ideology : which is exactly what we’re dealing with today . And sorry Mykey boy . But you forgot to attach Responsibility to the words Freedom and Individual Rights . Not to mention a strong government in place to maintain those rights . Cause Mykey boy Freedom without enforced Responsibility is Anarchy . As for a strong Military . Despite captain chaos’s claims we’ve already got one .
The inability of people to grasp the concept of Curie’s quote is exactly what dragging this country away from greatness, not towards it. She is (was) not endorsing a political ideology at all and any attempt to make it one demonstrates one’s inability to “get it”.
History First your rant “make America white again” is racist paranoia & left wing propaganda! As for responsibility it’s up to each of us to make sure we don’t have a govt that “enforces” its will on citizens. We have a civilian in charge of our military to keep a balance but when that leadership is ineffective &!as irresponsible as we had for the last 8!years, repairing the damage it caused to our military is critical & that’s exactly what we’re doing now! You are certainly entitled to your opinion, but calling people racist because we want our country to be “great again” is simply a racist ideology & is offensive! You can call my Mykeyboy all you want if that makes you happy or makes you feel like a big man or cool or something, go for it, I’m here to help!
Those who don’t get the Curie concept also don’t get the rugged individual that was the foundation of American motorcycling….. Hence the gaggle of clownish caricatures that are far too prevalent among today’s crop of “bikers”……
