It's enough to make one wish for simpler times. I'm afraid that compassion is rapidly being forced OUT of society. Perhaps if charity (welfare and soon medicine) was not forced from tax payers many more would feel better about it.

We can only hope -and if we are the praying kind -pray that citizens and non will have to make a living the old fashioned way. As with Maynard G. Crebbs the word work may scare the holy heck out of a few, but when the hunger pangs set in (or craving for tobacco, electricity, roof over the head), former food stamp families will cut up their credit cards and start beating the pavement to find gainful employment.
And just because I am enjoying this particular fantasy, I'll take it a step farther.
People will start to become nice again, because without all those free classes on how to look for a job, they will quickly learn what it really means to "network".
