I wasn't suggesting that Moses wanted to cut off support for the woman (girl) in my example .... I'm interested in exploring where to draw the line between "unable" and "unwilling."

I agree that if someone is unwilling to do anything to help themselves, they are entitled to nothing from society. Let them do it themselves, since they are "able" to. But 2 issues arise:

1. How to define unwilling, and
2. what to do about the kids of the "unwilling"

Maybe that's a more accurate test of lib vs. conservative beliefs -- how one draws these lines. Maybe conservatives more readily label someone "unwilling," whereas libs believe more are "unable."
