I've used Food Stamps before.  It's  a very demoralizing system that is designed to make you feel inadequate.

I had two broken feet from a softball ligament surgery and couldn't work.

Your food stamp cards are tracking you and your spending.  They know where you go, what you buy and how much you buy of what.  They know where you have traveled and where  you stopped for snacks using your card. 

Talking to a friend the other day from Taiwan...  He stated that people in other countries talk about how people can come here to take advantage of our system.  That they can come here and USE the system until they can't use it any more and then they go home to their home country.  Leaving us to figure it out......  This includes welfare, government grants, food stamps and pretty much anything that will result in wealth gained on behalf of our tax dollars.

what does this have to do with this blog post?  I'm not sure but it really made me think about how low this country has sunken.  Once upon a time we were looked upon to provide freedom and a sense of hope to other countries and people.  Now we've become a joke that other people laugh at and take advantage of us.  To use our systems, to use our grants, to use our lenders and our credit systems in order to BRING US DOWN FASTER.

They all laugh at us.... how pathetic is that?  We just sit here in our comfy huge homes and take it.  Knowing that others are laughing AT us and not WITH us....  Our country of the Bill Of Rights and our Constitution .............  Freedom.........  LAUGHTER is the result.

Sad.

Anyways - trying to become a peaceful anarchist - using government aid goes against everything that is anarchist.  If I was vindictive and thinking with my brain I WOULD join up for food stamps just strictly for the reasons that other people from other countries do it....  TO BREAK THE SYSTEM FASTER.    But I won't because I hate knowing the government is helping me with anything.  I'd rather starve.
