| MrBubbles said: i think that completely removing it would be silly, as they are some genuine cases where people need assistance. My mother works at social services and deals with these people all day...she also deals with a lot of human garbage too. you know..the generational welfare types...the ones who would get pregnant because they get a larger check. the kinds who wont pay their rent because they would rather drink and smoke, then destroy the home/apartment when they are finally evicted months after they stop paying. So while the system needs improvement, it provides an abundance of help... beyond just a check, they also run all sorts of programs... to some people that really need it. |
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
