As a 59-year-old "brother" who has never received a welfare check and has no need or intention to, but has seen alot of trailer trash live off of them (while we're handing out epithets), I must say that for some of the commenters here, ignorant would be a step up.

Not quite correct. We need government, but proper government--and we know we ain't got that.

A litte government goes a long way. Unfortunately they do not stay little and always grow and grow until they eventually overtake that which they were formed to protect. Similar to cancer but an inadequate reference. Hits close enough to the point to be considered relevent and intelligent.

FUNNY ISN'T THAT THE SAME PLACE YOUR SISTERS GET THEIRS OR DID THEY MOVE?

WHY IS IT WHEN A BLACK MAN MAKES A STATEMENT YOU RUN TO THE WELFARE SYSTEM..DO YOU KNOW THE HISTORY OF THE WELFARE SYSTEM AND WHO REALLY GETS THE MOST OUT OF IT AND SURPRISINGLY IT IS NOT BLACKS?

TRY A NEW TACTIC OR SHUT THE HELL UP!

Oh, w-o-w. I'm so impressed. He knows words with 3 syllables. Nietzche is turning in the grave ... of course, mr Raptivist (sounds like a prehistoric creature) wouldn't know who that is. Who needs Nietzche anyway ... when we have this yo-yo, who is apparently "diametrically" opposed to intelligence.
