bryan:

Unless I am mistaken, you have very limited life experience dealing with the "other side of the tracks". Am I correct?

len, as much as I respect your positions, they are skewed by something n the past that turned you away from objectivity on this subject.

Dave, we have similar backgrounds in the respect that we both got help at an early age (some college aid for years spent in the service)

And racer: What programs were there 100 years ago? Read your history. FInd out before asking. Families back then were in many cases large and extended, many times three generations in one house or apartment because wages were so low. That ani't the case today; too many prople out there to get all they can to worry about the life condition of others, even that of parents and siblings. Your lack of information on the subject of social improvement over the last two centuries shows me an individual who is, at the very least, not well read.

Any of you ever take the time to visit that widow trying to make it on $850 a month? ANy of you visit the shut-in confined to a wheelchair trying to survive on disability? Until you do, your attitudes will remain just as uninformed as ever.

I don't know why I bother.
