    A good short summary of the welfare system. The US has actually done remarkably well addressing Jon's concerns over the past twenty years.


    I was talking about ants and bees but here is a tidbit that occurred July 12 of this year pertaining to TANF to waive work requirements. I know you love legal jargon.

The only requirement is to reproduce. You're missing that. You don't have to be prettier, stronger, etc. blah, blah, blah, or anything else.

    You are also failing to realize that you are trying to apply vague theory to specific instances in social society. Look at other highly socialized, cooperative organisms. Ants, Bees, etc. I would say that social cooperation in raising the young to maturity (government handouts), has worked well for these organisms. The fire ants are doing pretty well on my course.


    This is very confusing to me. Don't you kill the ants?

    I sure try, but those pesky ants keep coming back. Ants have been around for over 100 million years. Social cooperation works for them.
