Comments on: Angela Davis – “The Meaning of Freedom” /angela-davis-the-meaning-of-freedom/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=angela-davis-the-meaning-of-freedom from Public Radio International Fri, 28 Sep 2012 23:41:39 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.4.2 By: Rita McKenzie /angela-davis-the-meaning-of-freedom/#comment-52 Rita McKenzie Fri, 28 Sep 2012 23:32:59 +0000 /?p=499#comment-52 Tavis, Listening to your conversation with Angela Davis and her remark about we have the Right to a Job struck me as an entitlement rather than something to be worked for. My teenagers thought they were entitled to spending money regardless of what or if they did anything to deserve it. I understand what you and she are trying to say, but the more we make people believe they are entitled to things we'll be continuously feeding them fish rather than teaching than teaching them how to fish. Thanks, Rita Tavis,
