Yeah. We get it. He asked for an example from the liberal end. Not an endless backwash from you.
Your definition of personal responsibilty would more accurately be defined as selfishness, I think. How about this?
Personal responsibilty of the mom to decide her pregnancy's fate.. not looking to big daddy government to make her carry it to term.
Personal responsibility to ensure one doesnt destroy the environment in the long term for the sake of short term profits.
Personal responsiblity to take care of poorer neighbors and citzens when you have the means to do so by agreeing to progressive taxation, because that little kid's breakfast over there is more important than your third flatscreen TV.
Personal responsibilty to ensure that your short term wants do not tower over the societies long term needs.
Personal responsibility to ensure the ENTIRE nations children are well educated, not just the ones who won the birth lottery to wealthier parents.

--- The problem with your example is that usually that guy who CHOOSES NOT to feed his kid has MORE FLATSCREEN TV’s than me. That has become the acceptable American Way. Buy ALL the discretionary stuff that you can because BIG DADDY GOVERNMENT will make the producers of this society pay for ALL your NEEDS. What else is there to say….. YOU ARE A COMPLETE SOCIALIST MORON!!!
Which free market society resembles Somalia? Ummm. Lemme think... I know! Somalia resembles Somalia!
My point, if you are still too obtuse to understand, is that Somalia is a perfect example of a totally free market - no regulation, no limits, and freedom to do whatever you want to do, as long as you hold the capital.
Yes, I do understand that there is an issue of security, but the point remains that wild free market is not a good thing, no matter what you'd like to believe. Look at what happened with Wall Street and market deregulation (which incidentally has not been fixed....).
Health care is precisely the area where we DONT want free market to reign.. unless you would like to see people like Suzanne Somers become the medical authorities for a greater proportion of the US population.
Somalia in NO WAY resembles a FREE-MARKET. Somalia is a lawless society that resembles ANARCHY more than anything else.
Oh. So you admit that you need to have a government with rules and regulations in a free market society. Good.
Somalia might not be a great example, but we really dont have a good one because a free market doesnt exist anywhere except in your head.
Maybe a better example would be to look at the USA in the late 1800s and the first decade of the 1900s. That was about as free market as you could get, with monopolies forming, a small number of poeple making incredible wealth (Rockefeller, Carnegie, Morgan, etc), and a massive yo yo economy with periodic severe depressions (1893, 1907,etc) that were devastating to the country. The lot of the average person was fairly bad.
Things have gotten steadily better over the last hundred years since we've left that free market, which has been an experience that has been replicated by virtually every single developed country in the world... all improved by control and regulation of the free market.

So essentially your argument is that regulation is good. So if a little regulation is good alot of regulation must be great, right?
Guess how many NEW regulations have been posted on this government website within the last 3 days.....
Your logical skills are impeccable. Since salad is good for you, you must eat ten heads of lettuce a day.
And you can see the effects of illogical thinking with your observation that a bunch of new regulations have been posted to a government website. Are you OK with five regulations, how about five hundred? Is zero the right number? Who cares unless you know what the regulations are about?
Over 300 new regulations in 3 days.... checkmate my friend, your arguement that we as Americans suffer from a lack of regulation does NOT hold water. You LOSE.

Maybe we should regulate abortions. I say all conservatives cannot have an abortion. I say all liberals can have as many abortions they want. Please liberals abort, abort, abort,...........
OH MY GOD! 300 Regulations posted to a website in just three days! Thats so many. Gosh, I think we should only have twenty regulations every three days. Or maybe twenty seven every three days with less on the holidays and weekends.
I'm sure you have more fascinating insight on this topic coming soon.
