Comments on: You Can’t Win if You Don’t Play http://www.urbanagora.com/2007/02/you-cant-win-if-you-dont-play-2.html An exchange of ideas from thinkers spanning the spectrum Wed, 18 Jan 2012 21:26:43 -0800 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.2 hourly 1 By: kofi the you may poop today; you're welcome http://www.urbanagora.com/2007/02/you-cant-win-if-you-dont-play-2.html/comment-page-1#comment-7694 kofi the you may poop today; you're welcome Tue, 13 Feb 2007 05:43:00 +0000 http://www.bridgeportstudios.com/urbanagora/2007/02/you-cant-win-if-you-dont-play-2.html#comment-7694 I think this is interesting. If you receive aid funding, you can only use so much of that money for certain things. Brilliant idea, but why stop at lotteries. Cigarettes, alcohol, cable TV, sugar laden foods - many of these are greater wastes of money than lotteries. At least you can win a lottery.<br/><br/>It makes perfect sense. These are people who can't take care of themselves. They need daddy government to regulate their lives and provide for their well being. A couple ground rules are perfectly reasonable. After all, "as long as you live under my roof..."<br/><br/>Brilliant. Absofuckinlutely brilliant. While we're at it lets pass laws requiring me to go to bed before 11pm and awake before 7am. And how many times can I shit per day? Once? Twice? I was planning to jerk off tomorrow, is there a form I need to fill out?<br/><br/>You are kidding right? I acknowledge the abuse of government aid. I saw it cross my register for years processing WIC and food stamp orders. The solution to abuse of aid isn't spending more money to regulate the aid; it's spending less money so that the aid they get can't be abused. I think this is interesting.
