Thread Name: BS: Poverty in the USA
Subject: RE: BS: Poverty in the USA
So, I beg the question... Do we ask our legislators to ban divorce???.... Do we legislate that any single parent who recieves any assistence be forced into marriage???... If no suiters are available do we demand that the single parent marry someone who the state appoints???...

Imean, let's get real here for one moment... We aren't going to legislate our country's way out of povertyy thru moralistic codification... That is what the Taliban is all about... So...

... I'd really like for the folks here who have laid blame at the feet of the poor and want to legislate how the poor must accept this "personal responsiblity" for their plight to talk about specific ideas on how to end the cyle of poverty...

I can accept, though disagree with every bone in my body, your position that poor people shold be sterilized, but beyond the Hitler-ish remedies I haven't yet heard one "rightie" say anything about how to get from A to B...

So, Dickey, mg, AWG, et al: How 'bout some ideas... We are beyond the observations, the critiques, the pablum stage of the discussion... I have thrown out my ideas which seem to something that that *** you folks*** (for lack of a better phrase...) don't have much, if any thing, to say much about...

I mean, sure, we'd like poor folks to make better choices but ya' ain't gonna have much more luck with that than passing legislation outlawing cancer???

We're pushing, what, some 8 or 9 hundred posts now, and it's time for the ***blamers*** to get real and step to the plate...
