Get your friend under the bridge some real help, that's what
government is for you know. I'm sure the state of Massachusetts
can come up with something better than poop baggies. But, you're
a real sweetheart for giving him poop baggies, really you are.
He's been that route, Ken. He's received very little help from the
"government". All the help he is now getting is from charitable
giving. Period.
Something doesn't smell right with that story. I think you've
been had, Louie. If I were you I wouldn't give that deadbeat
any more poop baggies until he started to look for a job.

Nope. ...

I'm not buying that cock and bull, Louie. You can't tell
me that the only safety net for the indigent in the state
of Massachusetts is one can of FDA tuna per month. I even
provided you with the web site which proves otherwise.

The government was never meant to be the solution to every problem in
our society. Some solutions must come from the people themselves.

We don't disagree on that, but it is the responsibility of
citizens in a civilized society to take care of those who
cannot take care of themselves. Indeed, that is one measure
of a civilized society. Donate to charity if you want, but
don't forget that the government has a responsibility to the
unfortunate among us.
