Well, sure. I agree with that. I'd go so far as to to say that everyone here would agree.
But the issues addressed/opinions shared in this thread seems to have evolved past that, or perhaps moved in a different direction.
OK, so here's something to spice it up a little more:
I think that if I'm supporting someone, I have the right to determine how they are going to live. How far could we take that with PA?
Someone mentioned manditory drug testing (which I think is a good idea, for the record). What else?
*Not allowed to get pregnant/get someone pregnant (have no idea how that would be enforced, short of mandatory short term sterilization, lol! Hmmm).
*Not allowed to eat junk food.
*Not allowed to eat food better than what non-PA folks eat.
*Not allowed to go out in public in slippers and pajama bottoms.
*Monthly Section 8 home inspections to ensure they're up to neighborhood standards.
*Enforced physical activity by forcing PA folks to generate their own power/electricity via treadmills (talk about 2 birds with one stone!).
I hope you see the hints of humor here, but shoot, there's no harm in brainstorming, I suppose.
And then of course, ideas on how to pay for the implementation of the ideas would be beneficial too.
It's a good thread, by the way. Interesting discussion generated.
