	Slacking off probably won't work in say, Nicaragua, where the philosophy
	is "Those who don't work, don't eat". (with exceptions for those 
	unable to work for reasons beyond their control.)

Yeah, right, kill off everyone who disagrees with you and call them
enemies of the state.  I've heard that before.

God, I don't believe how mule headed people can be. If whatshisname had stated
that in Nicaragua, the government feeds people who don't work, you'd have
attacked him for that.

You can't have it both ways, mel. The statement above "no work no eat unless
you have a reason" is basically what's applied in the U.S. Are the poor the
enemies of the state? Perhaps that is better left unasked.
