   That's been pointed out several times since this BLM group got rolling, but   
   all you get as a response to that is some version of; `yeah....BUT!..'   
      
   Over the years, the more some groups were given for `free'...the more they   
   wanted. Nay...the more they DEMANDED! And of course, there was some liberal   
   democrat or other right there to give it to them. The big problem with that   
   was it was being paid for by the taxpayers among us. We were the ones footing   
   the bill.   
      
   A free welfare check became a way of life. Women spaced child birth out so   
   they could spend 20 or more years being paid to do nothing.    
      
   Many cities built expensive apartment buildings to house those who were of   
   low income. When I was a school boy I went to a few schools where some of   
   those buildings were being constructed. In many cities they're known as `the   
   projects'. Two and three bedroom apartments. They were really nice looking   
   when they first went up. That lasted less than a  year or so.   
      
   Soon, broken out windows were stuffed with blankets and old quilts to keep    
   out the winter cold and wind. We were right on the shore of Lake Ontario,    
   and I'm here to tell you wind chill factors of 40 or more below zero were   
   not uncommon.    
      
   when I was a young adult in my early 20's I was an ambulance medic there for   
   the main ambulance company. They had a city and county contract for all   
   police, sheriff and fire department emergencies. Which meant I spent a lot of   
   time in and out of the `projects' hauling away knifing victims, shooting   
   victims, illnesses, drunks....   
      
   And the place was filthy! In most apartments there was no furniture at all.   
   In the bedrooms only a mattress and a pile of blankets. No heat, no lights (   
   (mostly nobody paid their gas and electric bills, they drank the money up),   
   no food in the kitchens for the little children that seemed to be everywhere   
   whenever I went on a call there.

   It was a game between the county employees (taxpayer-paid) and the recipients   
   (also taxpayer-paid).    
      
   If the city and county had lots of welfare recipients, that meant they also   
   needed lots of employees to handle the work load. They got to keep a good   
   paying job with benefits and a retirement.    
      
   So when women came in with kids who'd just been here a few weeks ago with a   
   different woman...nobody paid any attention, they just rubber-stamped various   
   papers....`droned' a few stock questions, the person applying `droned' a few   
   stock answers...and life went on.

   No it isn't. And out here at least there are programs to cull the few who are   
   legitimate.    
      
   You know I sometimes have to make a real effort to keep from jumping out of   
   my car at a freeway off ramp and I'm waiting for the light to change, and h   
   here' some asshole with a cardboard sign claiming to be a Vietnam vet who's   
   homeless. You look at him and know he's not even old enough to have been in   
   the service during the Vietnam war! I was in the war during the worst part   
   of it, and it makes me mad to see someone try to pull that. I'm almost 75, and   
   most of the guys there were around my age.    
      
   But they have various programs here FOR homeless vets. I don't know what its   
   like in other parts of the country.

   Somewhere in their life was the lack of a positive adult influence to instill a   
   sense of self-reliance and ambition. Its more cool to hang with the bro's than   
   to stay in school, absorb all the education you can while its free, and decide   
   on a working life career.   
      
   Now they want more freebies.
