>>if you believe that the lady with 14 children is the poster child for a welfare system running amuck That's not what I am saying at all. Of course I realize this is not typical. What I am arguing is that even in its extreme some people defend it.<< Steve - Who the hell is defending this woman? Who is saying the state should pay for this kind of crap? Nobody I've heard or read anything from. With all due respect, I think you're so caught up in your outrage over food stamps and other forms of welfare that you're not really paying attention to what the people who are responding to you are saying. >>I believe liberal democrats who support this extreme cases of welfare are not being pragmatic.<< I believe that liberal democrats who support this kind of thing are fictitious. Now, If you can show me one quotation from somebody saying that this woman has a perfect right to have the state pay for fertility treatments so that she can pump out multiple litters of children and put them immediately on the welfare rolls, I'll admit that I'm wrong. But I don't think I am. - Allen
