I think you are seeing the results of a welfare society, people walking around who can't make a decision on their own behalf. I saw one guy lamenting that nobody was around to tell him what to do or feed him or give him water. Seems like these people have lost the ability to think or act for themselves.

I saw the same thing; told my husband it looked like a scene out of Gone With the Wind when Scarlett returned to the farm towards the end of the war and her mother had died and her father wasn't all there... everyone needed her to tell them what to do... this was an echo of that... and sent chills down my spine that this has been allowed to happen 140 years after the Civil War.

Yep, you got it.

We do not need to worry about water, food, or shelter. Da "gubmint" is responsible for nurturing us from "womb to tomb". We gets to elect "dem who will promise us de mostest for de leastest".

Jes' tax dem rich folks, and we will all live de "Life a Reilly", and whatever "dem rich folks" can buy in "dem fancy stores", we will loot wheneber we gets a chance, right?

Hoping youse guys get dat "sarcasting" thingie.... and, don't be going ta be flaming me so much, I din't start de fire.

I think you're right, and I don't want to go there.

The thing that infuriates me is the people who KNOW better acting like they are some kind of "special needs" population that has to be given all kinds of latitude.
