Food Stamp Program Cuts

Considering that most people that are on Food Stamps purchase food with these stamps that are not nutritious and then buy bottled water and soft drinks and other “luxury” food items; these are the people that have damaged the system for people really in need of food stamps. The flaw in this program is that there were no programs in place to educate people in how to prepare fresh foods, shop the outer perimeter of a grocery store. The caveat of this is that these nutritious foods are more expensive than the cheap non-nutritious foods in the center of these grocery stores.

Food is supposed to be about nutrition. It would seem that food stamps should be about the same as well.

The concept of food stamps was about providing assistance for a temporary life situation not a lifelong situation. This is the major flaw in our food stamp program. – 09/20/13/SET

Ariel Castro did society a favor in hanging himself.

Ariel Castro did society a favor in hanging himself.
  • Stanley Thornburgh As a civilized society we have to treat all as human beings even if society terms that individual a “monster”. As such, Ariel Castro’s choice to take his own life serves society in three ways; the burden of society having to pay for his incarceration, the worshipping of him by other “monsters”, and finally the victims having to know that even though he is incarcerated he will always serve as a reminder as to what he did to them.Him being dead ends all this and just like the demolition of his house; We do not need a reminder and can move on.
  •  Michael O’Keefe Tragic. He harmed those women, killed those babies, and waisted his own life and potential. I can’t imagine anything worse.
  • Ron Smith At least he saved the tax payers $50,000 a year
  • Matthew Kukich You couldn’t of said better Stanley Thornburgh
  • Jack Koetz · Friends with Sharry Gross Carey
    I think he cheated the three women out of seeing him suffer in prison.
  • Stanley Thornburgh The three women would have never seen him suffer in prison. I’m sure they realize that in order to move on, they have to let go or forgive depending on their religion or beliefs. That perhaps may be the true cheating part on his behalf. But it is after all not a game. Just a disturbed and sick man that no longer walks among us.

Holding Oneself Totally Accountable

Facebook post:  Thursday, September 5 at 7:34am

Doesn’t change the act of killing another person as a result of one’s own negligence, but admitting to the act and holding oneself totally accountable and to accept the punishment is indeed a rarity.

Don’t drink and drive.
