1. That's quite a story.
I was great to read about how they took care of each other.

What a great example of people doing the best they can.

I had waded into Freeperville for the first time in months - out of curiosity of how they were reacting to all of this.

So I find this:

"This is how we treat the poor (barf alert)"

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1486953/posts

Every one said something along the lines of, "Interesting that these cities with the most pockets of poverty are the most liberal cities in the country. When you promote the "victim" ideology you get a lot of victims."

---

I wonder if those Freepers ever sing "Amazing Grace" - I think they are still blind. They refuse to see that some people need more help than others. "Victim" ideology does not make people schizophrenic, bipolar, or give them PSTDs from the Vietnam War (or Iraq).

But the mentality of Freepers and those like them is why there are fewer places for the mentally ill to go. And why other programs are being eliminated. :(
