Why welfare program fails

Headline on page 2 today ( Projo, Sept.30 )   : "  Program to

    help welfare fathers doesn't work, study finds ". 

            We live in a very complex society. Many people who could have

    supported themselves as humble peasants in medieval times - just can't

    find a place in the capitalist economic order.

           The most ambitious programs for making  members of nearly

    hereditary " underclass "  EMPLOYABLE fail again and again.

          Our society should acknowledge the reality described

    mathematically by the Bell Curve of " normal distribution ".

       The extreme left of the curve - a solid 5-10 percent of the

    population ( always growing in ABSOLUTE numbers ! ) will not

    fade from reality by the most ambitious programs.

          We must simply ACCEPT these people as life time welfare

    recipients.  " Success " for them should simply be staying out

    of jail , out of trouble, and not being homeless.

          For them I recommend quite literally Bread & Circuses .

       Perhaps a future generation can conduct HUMANE eugenic

    experiments. The Nazis - unfortunately - have given eugenics a

    bad name.

         The scariest thought that I have when I see all the cretins

    in the Providence area is this : " They can and WILL reproduce

    their kind ".

            Perhaps the eugenics of the future will find the way to

    create a healthier and happier race .

          But for now it must be :  Bread & Circuses !
