WELFARE IS WELL... UNFAIR.

The whole welfare thing has been on my mind lately and I've had some discussions about it with people of various views.  Should we help people in need?  How do we do it?  How do we make sure the people who really need help are getting it and how do we prevent fraudsters from stealing from the system?

Well... I've come to a couple conclusions and I'd like to hear some feedback on this.

#1 - WE SHOULD HELP THOSE IN NEED
Now, the "WE" is where I tend to run into disagreements with some.  I think "WE" is the people.  People should help other people in need.  Some people won't help and some people will help.  But, I think it's important to maintain the freedom to choose who to help and how, even though this means some people won't help.  Helping people in need is none of the government's business.

#2 - I DON'T BELIEVE IN FORCED CHARITY
I don't need to write an explanation for this one as I found a video that says it perfectly.

MURDER IS OKAY... SOMETIMES?

     The man in Cleveland who kidnapped and held those girls prisoner (I'm intentionally not adding his name) is being brought up on charges of aggravated murder for causing one of his pregnant captives to miscarry.  Although I agree that intentionally causing someone to have a miscarriage should be a crime (killing an innocent person), these charges pose a bit of a conundrum for me...

     In the United States it is legal to kill unborn babies.  I don't see how the circumstances of how this occurs makes a difference to the baby.  Let's break this down logically:

#1 - If you are a pregnant woman and you consent to have your unborn baby killed, that is LEGAL.

#2 - If you are a person who gets paid to kill an unborn baby with the consent of the mother-to-be, that is LEGAL (and lucrative).

#3 - If you kill an unborn baby without the consent of the mother-to-be, that is ILLEGAL.

#4 - If you are a person who gets paid to kill an unborn baby with the consent of the mother-to-be but you do not have the consent of the state (un-licensed), that is ILLEGAL (but still lucrative).


  This form of "legal murder" seems only to be based on special circumstances with no regard for the life of the actual person being killed... the baby.  INCONCEIVABLE!!
