“We all wear masks, and the time comes when we cannot remove them without removing some of our own skin.”

You're far from alone.  Most people fit in that box to one degree or another.  About all I can offer is once you do take the mask off, it's quite liberating.  Depending on which mask it is and what sort of people are close in your life though, it can also be somewhat costly, so anyone should only take the mask off if and when they think they're ready to.  ^_^

I live for myself and answer to nobody - Steve McQueen

The results vs. stated intentions. It takes a fool to care more about the latter.

You have it.  Results are from observable facts while stated intentions are based on unsubstantiated hypothesis.

What the welfare system is doing is it is paying people to fail; insofar as they fail, they receive the money; insofar as they succeed - even to a moderate extent, the money is taken away.  This is even extended into the school system, where they will give money to schools with low scores.  Insofar as the school improves education, the money is taken away, so that you are subsidizing people to fail in their own private lives, and become MORE dependent upon the handouts. - Tomas Sowell

The same thing happened, in essence, with 'No child left behind'.  It was 'If you (the individual state) want this government money, you WILL have to follow the federal requirements for 'No child left behind'.'  And just about every state forced that failed system on their children - just for a little federal money.
