Homestead mailing list

I understand what you are saying , Lynn, and philisophically don't dis-agree. 
 I simply do not want to see children going hungry; citizens sick and dying 
because of inadequate access to decent health-care; homeless numbers 
expanding; and all of the consequential social ills that follow catacysmic 
economic turmoil and social disorder. 

 Either way, I will survive, and will try to flourish and prosper.  But a lot 
of people are three or four paychecks away from complete destitution.  The 
'system' is not fair, it is 'instead' cruel and antithetic to social good.  I 
do not wish ill fortune on the hard working citizens of my country; and they 
are exactly the ones who will be hurt most.  The system needs to be changed , 
but not on the already bent backs of the good and decent working people.
