Also, where are the fems? Nothing has been said about the fact that most of those on welfare are mothers with young children. Who typically could not find a job that would cover the cost of child care. Also, how about the insane? We have charitably thrown them out of the asylums to sleep in the streets. Should we also take away their sole means to eat? -- Michael Ward, NCAR/SCD UUCP: {hplabs,nbires,brl-bmd,seismo,menlo70,stcvax}!hao!sa!ward ARPA: hplabs!hao!sa!ward@Berkeley BELL: 303-497-1252 USPS: POB 3000, Boulder, CO 80307
