"IF YOU CAN'T FIX IT WITH A HAMMER,

YOU'VE GOT AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM"

WRITTEN BY A 21 YEAR OLD FEMALE Wow, this girl has a great plan! Love the last thing she would do the best.

This was written by a 21 yr old female who gets it. It's her future she's worried about and this is how she feels about the social welfare big government state that she's being forced to live in! These solutions are just common sense in her opinion.

This was in the Waco Tribune Herald, Waco , TX , Nov 18, 2011

PUT ME IN CHARGE . . ..

Put me in charge of food stamps. I'd get rid of Lone Star cards; no cash for Ding Dongs or Ho Ho's, just money for 50-pound bags of rice and beans, blocks of cheese and all the powdered milk you can haul away. If you want steak and frozen pizza, then get a job.

Put me in charge of Medicaid. The first thing I'd do is to get women Norplant birth control implants or tubal legations. Then, we'll test recipients for drugs, alcohol, and nicotine. If you want to reproduce or use drugs, alcohol, or smoke, then get a job.

Put me in charge of government housing. Ever live in a military barracks? You will maintain our property in a clean and good state of repair. Your home" will be subject to inspections anytime and possessions will be inventoried. If you want a plasma TV or Xbox 360, then get a job and your own place.

In addition, you will either present a check stub from a job each week or you will report to a "government" job. It may be cleaning the roadways of trash, painting and repairing public housing, whatever we find for you. We will sell your 22 inch rims and low profile tires and your blasting stereo and speakers and put that money toward the "common good.."

Before you write that I've violated someone's rights, realize that all of the above is voluntary. If you want our money, accept our rules. Before you say that this would be "demeaning" and ruin their "self esteem," consider that it wasn't that long ago that taking someone else's money for doing absolutely nothing was demeaning and lowered self esteem.

If we are expected to pay for other people's mistakes we should at least attempt to make them learn from their bad choices. The current system rewards them for continuing to make bad choices.

AND While you are on Gov't subsistence, you no longer can VOTE! Yes, that is correct. For you to vote would be a conflict of interest. You will voluntarily remove yourself from voting while you are receiving a Gov't welfare check. If you want to vote, then get a job.

Reading around the internet, it was apparently written by a man named Alfred W. Evans as a letter to the editor of the Waco Tribune not a young 21 year old woman. I would like to know why he thinks it neccessary for a woman to get a tubal legation in order to receive government assistance but males do not seem to require a vasectomy for the same assistance??

Certainly. Photogs are intensely curious and intelligent people. We spend our free time recording the world around us so having concern about and opinions on many subjects is not exceptional. Besides, my friend, this part of the forum is reserved for discussions on any subject you choose with the exception of photography... General Chit-Chat (non-photography talk) ;-)

While we're at it let's go after corporate welfare queens, I CAN make a list starting with Exxon Mobile.
Patiently waiting for yours.

The problem is there are millions of people out there ready to take the money that someone else earned and a gov. willing to give it. I AM NOT TALKING ABOUT THE TRULY NEEDY. There are families out there that have been on welfare for ever. You know back in the 5os you could not own a car on public assistance. Also what you could and could not buy with the money. Not so much different from that suggested at the top. If I'm wrong here please correct me. Another thing I will misspell and put in a wrong word from time to time I hope that dose not disqualify my opinion on the matter as suggested. I remember when people would approach you for a dollar or two now they want ten or twenty. As long as your willing to give it they will gladly take it.

Are you on the list of givers or takers? Just wondering.


Well...as I am unemployed and the "job creators" aren't making jobs fast enough and businesses are discriminating against me for being out of work...you decide.

Come on Jim. You should read the heading before you start complaining. The Chit Chat Forum is for people who like lively discussions on current event topics in addition to the other forums on photographic topics.

If you don't like what you are reading (and they are only opinions), skip the Chit Chat strings and stay with the photo strings.

I disagree many times, but enjoy reading all the crap that is written by geniuses and non-geniuses, alike. They are having fun and so am I.

The only thing I don't care for is when they start calling each other names. Then it gets kind of grade school....

A long time ago, there was an earnest plea from a "FAMILY with Lymes Disease." Most of the material contained in the family's blog appealing for help is contained in the "Put me in charge" e-mails. As the multitude of comments about this e-mail attest, this 21 year old female either "has a great plan!" or has been bashed around for that plan and it's solutions. This lady's opinion ONLY agrees with a newspaper article in the Waco Tribune-Herald.

The author of this opinion letter, not a real plan with real solutions, has already identified himself as Alfred W. Evans in his letter to the Waco Tribune-Herald and is also posted in this discussion. He also wrote to TheVeteransVoice.com and SILENCEDOGOOD2010'S BLOG, which was reposted on BlackShards, and thanked them for posting his letter. "I googled “Put me in charge” and found it on many sites. Thanks again for getting what I consider common sense out to the people." This 21 year old female is receiving credit for your plan and your solution, Mr. Evans. Most of the heat and derogatory remarks are directed toward her and not to you, Mr. Evans. Do you care that this is happening? Why do you allow this to continue on this way? Better her than you? Some military operations use intelligence and deception to accomplish their mission. Food for thought. More on this further down below.
