Hmmm. Seems to me that equating "grant writing"
with "free money-welfare" (which fed a lot of kids 
who are *not* being fed *now* regardless of
*why*) without ever finding out how the grant 
money is used might fall into that category. 

I have the same aversion to seeing Cadillacs/
Lincolns/taxis depositing people who then stand
in food bank lines, but until one 'reads the book'
who knows what's inside under the 'cover' ?

Are *all* the people who were able to afford 
those cars supposed to sell them and use public
transportation when "public transportation"
doesn't go where the jobs are ?

I'm thinking of all the "industrial parks" that employ 
so many people but without vehicles one simply 
cannot "get there from here" at all - or it takes so 
long, or one must additionally walk so far that 
logistically one simply cannot take the job ....
never mind that one may be judged by the clothes
one wears *or the vehicle one drives* when being
hired for 'professional/meet the public' jobs ...
Keeping as much as one can while cutting as much
as one can is an individual survival tactic, and 
having 'walked in those shoes' a few times I
suppose I tend to be more open to the foibles
of how people try to maintain life, not just
life-styles.

James... I'll bet you a dime to a donut that we hereabouts are worse than
ya'll. We don't cotton to outsiders whatsoever. I heard that some of my
neighbors have more guns than I do but there is no way they could have more
ammo than me. (Also, my bride is a crack shot - that's one reason I married
her)
