Such folks cannot catch a break.

While we as conservatives understand the consequence of their actions bring more and worse effects upon them the seeming oblivious nature of the left is encouraged by power seekers who use such decision making to their advantage.  Most conservatives understand that abortion cheapens life, entitlements encourage a lack of solutions sought, and responsibility lessens mistakes.  

The unlucky folk who find themselves with a losing ticket in life's lottery ought to notice they are carrying the same ticket from week to week.  If they do not replace it, they will find the same disappointment as the last.  If they do not learn from mistakes made, they are doomed to repeat them in perpetuity.  The cheapening of life they promote puts them at risk, the entitlements they receive removes them from being a part of the solution. And finally, the responsibility they avoid, in cradle to grave government schemes destroy the solidarity of the family unit, or dependence on IT, resulting in generational memory loss of good values.

And sometimes it means they cannot place the proper context or value on such luxuries as 'the arts' when education or safety is in competition for the same dollars.

Good luck with that DSO..  But in your fit, I think you didn't hold your breath long enough.
