Pets require responsibility. Children don’t. That is why kindly government has feeding sites for them. Here is one of the first recruiting articles of the summer. One common tater, like me, had not heard of many incidences of starvation in the United States in the past several years. And, like me, he assumed parents were choosing to pay for luxuries, like digital devices, to avoid stigma, rather than become self-reliant and provide for their own. Another article in the same newspaper tells us about a parenting class, which I am sure will educate responsible teens in the wide array of government programs available for feeding and training their childstock.

As evidence that government has no intention to leave the job half-done, we continue to read articles about WNC governments providing entertainment for the masses.
