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.
If this country still held to the Christian principles that it was founded on, then I would agree with you. I am not for the continuous expansion of government--but make no mistake--it will be there [gladly] when morality has been completely thrown out in favor of relativism. We are already there mostly. What you seek isn't possible at this point because the culture is in a not-so-mysterious process of self-destruction. This is a reality, bannie.
