As I assume they would sicken many.</p> <p>And it leads me to other issues such as laws on the books concerning mortgages--for instance--and the laws on the books as opposed to those who are appointed or employed to audit.</p> <p>George W would appoint racists to the Civil Rights Division of the DOJ. That rendered all Civil Rights Legislation moot.</p> <p>And when these 'supervisors' in a platonic sense failed, nobody was really prosecuted.</p> <p>In the environmental arena, w would appoint members of the energy corps to positions that were supposed to monitor corps like Exxon...etc. This ended up as a travesty of justice and once again, no one went to jail.</p> <p>My fear is that anecdotes like yours would send a message that all social programs are shite because bad guys abused the program.</p> <p>I do not know the answer to this quandaray.</p> <p>It is a matter of focus.</p> <p>And the repubs only wish to cut programs for the poor, the disadvantaged, the powerless on the basis of anecdotes.</p> <p>the end</p> <p> </p> </div></div></div> Thu, 20 Oct 2011 23:11:18 +0000 Richard Day comment 138116 at http://dagblog.com It is all evil but what that http://dagblog.com/comment/138112#comment-138112 <a id="comment-138112"></a> <p><em>In reply to <a href="http://dagblog.com/reader-blogs/protect-them-evil-major-government-fail-11939">Protect them from evil: major government fail</a></em></p> <div class="field field-name-comment-body field-type-text-long field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><p>It is all evil but what that woman did to her niece is really beyond comprehension.  That was beyond greed.  It was pure malice.  What a shame Ohio killed all those big cats.  Turning her over to them for sport and food is the closest to justice that I can think of.</p> </div></div></div> Thu, 20 Oct 2011 21:53:13 +0000 EmmaZahn comment 138112 at http://dagblog.com
