and i wonder, in addition to all the things mentioned above, about your first point, about the children going to school hungry... there are programs being started at many schools (in pei at least, but i think it is more widespread than that) where kids who don't get fed at home can come in to the school early for a free breakfast. so i would wonder if more are hungry, as there were always people who couldn't afford breakfast for their kids, and as there were no such programs in 1982. and seriously, why would you pick 1982? unless perhaps you have some figures to back you up....
