don't feed the bears
there's a bit of truth in what bauer said about feeding the poor. though he probably could have found a more tactful way of expressing the point. course if he had he wouldn't be getting quite so much free press. and folks wouldn't have quite so much material for their blog boxes. we as a nation need to seriously rethink our strategy of giving people fish instead of teaching them to fish. i advocate tasteless nutritious gruel and bunker style housing. putting two unemployed and unemployable teenage parents and their two kids in their very own apartment at no cost to them is a recipe for disaster. there's a park near here where people feed the cute fuzzy squirrels. they quickly turn nasty and aggressive and have to be destroyed. people are not wild animals. unless you feed them like wild animals. we have to treat people like people.
