Well, if you think it is not worth discussion then why are you on a message board discussing it?
You don't think you are being a tad melodramatic about this? Are you saying that the ONLY way for the chillen to get clean drinking water is for the federal gobblement to jump in? There is ZERO way for chillen to get clean water without the federal gobblement? Is that what you are saying?
Hitler did things for the chillen too. Statists throughout the years have used children as props for their totalitarian goals. Oh, I know in your heart you think you are being compassionate. I mean anyone can feel like Mother Theresa sitting behind a keyboard saying "We should do something". At the end of the day, it really isn't your money is it? Your individual contribution to the total is insignificant so you can feel morally superior without putting in much effort; physical and financial. Bully for you
