Welcome to the United States of Welfare

Dude enough already, your reminding me of the preacher on Deadwood.

It's the truth. If you don't want to listen, bury your head in the sand.

if you actually want to influence people, you need to change your style.

CC -- That captures the problem in a pithy nutshell (although the Deadwood comment is excellent)! Can nutshells be pithy? Sounds more like a fruit thing.

If the foot shall say because I am not the hand, I'm not of the body, is it therefore
not of the body?
And if the ear shall say because I'm not the eye, I'm not of the body, is it therefore not?
And if the democrat shall say because I'm not the republican, I'm not of the body, is it therefore not as well?
Now hath God, set the members, every one of them, in the body as it hath pleased him.
