And from my perspective poverty should be humiliating and demeaning. I think if you take the shame out of failure you get a generation of apathetic non-achievers, socially unproductive behaviors need negative feedback mechanisms. So if people who feed the hungry want to lecture them or harangue them on any subject I say "Bring it on." Of course I personally don't care about the subject matter of the harangue- the God thing isn't very important to me in this context. But that is because when I look at society I see a maze filled with lab rats. Some rats follow the path, some don't. If you want rats to follow the path then you have a reward at the end and you have nasty little shocks for the critters when they deviate. Seems to me this country has been working on taking all the nasty little shocks out of "bad" behavior. I want them put back in, and I certainly don't want to take away the few we have left.
