And since you insist . . . . As per working with the poor, I'll match
my years, both volunteer and paid, fixing programs and rooting out
cheaters, (mostly among administrators and upper middle class people
by the way,) some of whom were also vague about their understanding
that government property was not their personal property. My current
Mother Teresa gig in this regard is raising fresh food for the
"Helpline/Fishline" food bank. In season we raise mostly green beans,
squash, peppers, eggplant, some greens, and corn enough for deliveries
about once a week July-September, and lots of apples from late August -
October. Its something, but pathetic compared to what society and
this country have given to me. Next year we will do more and maybe pop
for a pig or half a cow from my lessee. As I am sure you are aware
food banks are shortest on fresh foods. I should and can do more.

Good for you, David. I am very happy to hear this. It restores some
of the respect I have for you.

As for reporting corruption, like I said, there is NO LAW against
owning a new car and collecting food stamps or getting free food from
the many food pantries in Lowel. I have nothing to report, for I have
not seen a law broken. Period.
