Okay, but the point that I'm making for the third time is that there are
homeless children all over America - does that make you less • life-affirming, or
more barbaric?

   So you admit to lying three times now?

The only guilt I feel is that the system I am an unwilling partial member • of
supports (or uses) those barbaric systems.

I understand that, but I thought you said you only had responsibility for
yourself? Or is social responsibility a secondary optional one?

   At the moment it is mandatory.

I'm saying we need to fix this crap, and you are saying I don't know its
there.  Again, get real.

I'm wasn't saying that you didn't know it was there. Your comment about how • if
you saw a homeless child in the street, then you (and most everyone else) • would
take them in, seemed that you had at least forgotten. There will be plenty • at
your local city..

   I live in a city. You must be right, I am blind, because I have never
seen a child without a home here.  They must hide very well.

(...) If you don't look, you won't see them. I've seen homeless children _here_. In the Netherlands. Where there are charities _and_ government-sponsored institutions _galore_ to mtake care of them. Denying reality won't make it go away. Jasper (25 years ago, 13-Jan-00, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
