I probably read your post at bottom incorrectly then (pardon the | elided text--I'm trying to conserve bits, and don't think I messed up the | meaning of the original post).

That explains why you think there would be a coercive government program for free food paid for by taxes. But really, these are two very different arguments. /// -- In a fight against something, the fight has value, victory has none. In a fight for something, the fight is a loss, victory merely relief.
