This is a pretty good list.
I'll go ahead and comment that typically women need/deserve more assistance because if they have kids and don't have a husband their lives can be extremely difficult, and their kids can suffer because of it. Women are typically paid less than men too. And yes, someone should stop having kids because they can't afford it, I agree. But that doesn't make it fair to the kids to let them suffer for their parent's mistake.
And believe me, the poorer people are, the more likely they are to become criminals. Poverty and crime go hand and hand. And nobody wins in society, rich or poor, the more criminals there are.
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke
It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson
