I have to agree primarily with Crazed Rabbit on this issue. We have an obligation to provide for those who are physically unable to provide for themselves due to mental or physical handicap. Having boatloads of children does not qualify. Being addicted to drugs does not qualify. Being an unemployable felon does not qualify.

As for housing, I wold say that reasonable accomadations should be made for those who are incapable of being productive by no fault of their own. Nothing fancy, but something safe and comfortable. Furthermore, they should be given the opportunity to lift themselves to greater potentail should be so able via education, rehabilitation, etc.

As for the rest of the downtrodden, they qualify as leeches. Are your children a burden? Who's fault is that, urban single mother? Are you addicted to narcotics or recovering from drug addiction? Who's fault is that? Are you a felon with a criminal history?

The ONLY accomodations these people should get are a bed in an open shelter facility with shared restrooms and no TV and little creature comforts. They had their opportunity and blew it. They would normally be able to take the "undesirable jobs", but now the illegal immigrants get those, so go figure. No jobs for the leech undercalss.


People should have equal access to education, and for the most part they do, via open enrollments at many private non-profit universities and community colleges.
