A Keeper

The prez says: we need to be keepers of our sisters and brothers.

I think Stephen Hicks does a nice job of describing what people mean when they use this line of argument:

They're talking, in the first place, about an attitude toward responsibility: we should not think of ourselves and others as self-responsible but as collectively responsible. “Brother” is used metaphorically, with the idea that the partially-collective ethic of the family should be extended across all of society.

And they're talking, in the second place, about using compulsion to enforce their notion of collective responsibility.

Won't they please accept
that I don't want to be kept?
