Inactivism: Your problems will solve themselves

Activism is great, as long as you don't expect the Federal Government to be the solution to everything.

Jonah Goldberg on Laziness, Inactivity, Progress, & Conservatism on National Review Online: "The 'Just Don't' school holds that most problems solve themselves. If nobody else will solve your problems for you, you will be far more likely to fix your own problems. This is a naturalistic philosophy in that it embraces the natural order of things. No creature — except for man — takes responsibility for the ecosystem it lives in. Sharks eat as much as they can eat. Birds fly where they want to fly. Bears crap in the woods without so much as a 'by your leave' from park rangers. Everybody does what they do and the ecosystem achieves balance because of it."
