[PRCo] Re: Responsibility

[John Swindler]

As I have mentioned to Fred several times, even those on welfare have a job. 
  And that job is to qualify for welfare - and as with any profession, some 
are exceptionally good at it.

And as with Fred, I too have some family experiences that has soured my 
sympathy with this social system.  Yet in the abstract, the need is there.  
I suppose.
