Yes I have a garden, and yes there's flaws in that story.

And yes I believe in being compassionate towards those who struggle to get enough to eat.

Your remark had a "Let them eat cake" tone to it.

And yes, I have been desperately hungry at one point in my life.

BTW, do you have a garden?

Your post reminded me of this tune

Bruce Hornsby - The Way It Is Lyrics

Standing in line marking time-
Waiting for the welfare dime
'Cause they can't buy a job
The man in the silk suit hurries by
As he catches the poor ladies' eyes
Just for fun he says "get a job"


CHORUS
That's just the way it is
Some things will never change
That's just the way it is
But don't you believe them

They say he little boy you can't go
Where the others go
'Cause you don't look like they do
Said hey old man how can you stand
To think that way
Did you really think about it
Before you made the rules
He said, Son

CHORUS

Well they passed a law in '64
To give those who ain't got a little more
But it only goes so far
Because the law don't change another's mind
When all it sees at the hiring time
Is the line on the color bar

CHORUS
