So what? Repeat after me, "the government is not a babysitter." Now,

rather than food for their children. IMHO, that is more reprehensible.
The point is, that people will be people, no matter what.


Agreed, that is more reprehensible. As for the rest (and the rest of
the thread), I see that we are at an impasse, and so I will stop
pretending I can change your views and hope the reciprocal will also
occur.


I guess this is the proverbial "agree to disagree."
