Helen you have posted a number of things that have been just plain offensive on a number of different occasions here. You do not see what you post as being offensive and so to you there is no problem. I guess if you intended your post to be food for thought then the only thought I can produce is that your posting is the same far rightwing neocon blather that I have been hearing for over a decade. What this guy did was go on the attack all in the name of a "reality" check. I suppose I could produce some reality checks of my own like the fact that number of homeless increased the moment federal spending for mental health faded, and that many of those "bums" on the side walk are not there by choice but are mentally handicapped and just have not had the good fortune to end up in prison or jail. I suppose it would not hurt to mention that the average household requires at least two wage earners and their combined work week averages well over 80 hours a week. I suppose that it does not really matter that the wealthiest 1 percent in the US control 38 percent of the wealth and they pay less in taxe percentages than the struggling two income family. I suppose it really does not matter that corporations pay the least in taxes yet manage to get the largest benefits from governmental welfare and bail outs. That is where our tax dollars go Helen. So you can be upset or you can reaquaint yourself with the bright individual you are and maybe look at what you posted with hard eye as to its veracity.

But again it is the absurd and its contradictory life that teaches us. For the mistake is thinking that quantity of experience depends on circumstances of our life when it depends soley on us.
