RE: I'm sorry, but when I see the words 'socialism and civic responsibility'...'institutions' that 'collectively' mandate you help a worthless neighbor, that you OWE something to anybody who has his hand out, that your sweat, labour, and reward should be used to raise 'the collective' of people needing your assistance...well...I stop listening. Responsible citizenship, to me, does not mean "responsible to and for the citizens".
Exactly what do you think welfare is?

PS-From the other string:
LilMsLadyPoet: I'm sorry, but when I see the words 'socialism and civic responsibility'...'institutions' that 'collectively' mandate you help a worthless neighbor, that you OWE something to anybody who has his hand out, that your sweat, labour, and reward should be used to raise 'the collective' of people needing your assistance...well...I stop listening. Responsible citizenship, to me, does not mean "responsible to and for the citizens".
zodiac: That's all well and good, and I'm as egotist (or egoist, I always forget which,) as the next guy. But what would you say if I suggested that your future is very much in the hands of those people you refuse to feed? (Don't believe me? What are you paying for gas recently?)
What if the odds are very high that you or someone you know will be blown up by some worthless guy you didn't hand out to? Are handouts justfied if they might prevent that?
I'd very much like to hear your answer.

ok, that's a better answer. All I personally ask, and it may be too much to ask, is that a shred of comonly understood language prevail.

Have you ever read Jabberwocky?
http://www.jabberwocky.com/carroll/jabber/jabberwocky.html
As stated in above comments it's about writing a story using a lot of invented words and yet still tying together something like a story. The idea is that the reader uses their own imagination with the made up words and in doing so takes the poem to a personal level that the poet could not normally achieve.

I'm in a better mood. I must now step back and observe my mood. Done. It was a frivilous sputtering, but in reality I'd like to meet you and not have you know who I am.

See if you can get -=D_A=-,P.I., to talk about Carroll. You know he taught 'Maths' at their college, Oxford.

That's a super story and you make some good points. However, you've got a couple of plot holes here.
1) Why was your mother on welfare while getting her Masters? I don't presume to know your family's situation, but why didn't she get a job?
2) You first present the option that people create and invent out of necessity. Then, later, you state that people who "might die tomorrow" won't do that. Do we all not cower under the possibility that we might die tomorrow?

You were rather cool about the idea when I mentioned it before. How do I know you're sincere now?
