As someone said its both sides of the coin but either way the world is not heading to disaster because of lack of discipline or rampant crime or whatever wave of fear people have. We should just see what really needs to be improved and how instead on constantly criticizing and bad mouthing and having a belief that all right wing people are NAZIS and all left wing people are commies its stupid
Don't forget there is a clear disctinction between a "do-gooder" and someone who "does good" IMO anyway. The way I think of it is something like this: Someone who does good, is like a charity worker. A problem exists and they help to rectify it. A "do-gooder" is someone with too much time and money and not enough common sense. They won't fix existing problems, but cause their own. Like the one about the school with the three little pigs books.

Also the left political side is split into two: the liberals and the socialists. So it is unfair to say the left is only one of the two. They are a mix of both.
