I actually had a pretty decent post written, when I somehow managed to erase the whole thing as it was autosaving a blank screen. Awesome

I am not a fan of welfare, either - and I've lost more than one online "friend" for acknowledging my government-reducing leanings myself.
Which is why I think the drug-testing thing is stupid.
I find it fascinating that Republicans - who claim to be about making government smaller - are often the ones creating laws and mandates that actually reduce one's liberty.
"A hand UP, not a hand OUT," as Peaches often says, and hallelujah to that. I believe in helping those less fortunate. I do not believe that's the government's responsibility, though - it's the community's. You notice nowhere in there did I defend welfare as it stands - I refute the mandatory reduction of civil liberties for accepting assistance. If we must have it, the system itself is overloaded and poorly managed. Adding tests to it won't fix that.
several things firstly may i steal the blurb talking about why its wrong if not ehh no biggie also in my opinion most people dont understand the social programs or think they do but dont so its hard to have a conversation about a topic that way also hurrah for hair i wish i had the patience to grow mine out but i dont and due to other factors i would be miserable with it about the book i think its a stellar idea and if you decide to write it i want to go on record that i want to purchase it when its done i also think it would be a rather therapeutic process for you so another good reason to do it wow ramble much devin anyhew hugs i love you
