Glad you have compartmentalized what should and shouldn't happen in your life. Maybe it will work out that way and maybe it won't. Regardless, you are more concerned about your pocketbook than with the value and dignity of human life. I have no way to change your mind and won't attempt to try. I simply pray that you never are put in the position of being the benefactor of what you preach.

True virtue is not anemic or self-centered.

You do not address my issues of charity. You choose to ignore that which I state. You simply say, "I hope you never find yourself in the position." I told you that WHEN I HAVE BEEN IN THAT POSITION, I DO NOT DEMAND ANOTHER'S HARD-EARNED MONEY.

WELFARE IS NOT CHARITY...it is THEFT:>

"Regardless, you are more concerned about your pocketbook
than with the value and dignity of human life."

"value and dignity of human life."
The baby DOESN'T HAVE A BRAIN,
as brain dead as a friggin doornail,
Whether you want to acknowledge it or not, either way, no brain.

Also, aren't you rather free with YOUR advice about what others should do with THEIR "pocketbooks"

[bannie]

You have not addressed my issues.

You simply state FEELINGS. The feelings upon which you should act are those based upon facts. You do not deal with the factual aspects in this case...I believe that you cannot allow yourself to see the wrong of welfare because you can not accept that your family survivied on the backs of people whom your parents accepted as unwilling oxen.

I also believe that you have already "dismissed" me.

Perhaps the actualities are not pleasant things with which to deal.
