wow everything looks so small when I'm up on my high horse...

I have always had a problem with people who think it's OK to get something for nothing, this includes people who sue for their own stupidity, as well as people who accept handouts. There's no such thing as a free lunch, even at work, if they buy lunch for the day, it means we are sitting thru an excruiciatngly dull meeting.

I'm left with no choice but to support the system as it is, though I will never stop ranting about it until it's fixed. If people choose to accept welfare for whatever reason, they have to give something back, whether it's painting a school, cleaning up on the highway, passing out cookies at a blood drive... you don't get something for nothing -- community service should be mandatory.

Section 8 housing is where I draw the line, I started ranting about it in the other thread, but it's wrong, it's unfair to the people who pay full price, and it's got to end.
