Um, well, make up your mind, then. Either we *can* do something about it ("having the support is good") or we *can't* ("won't solve the problem either... the poor will always be there"). If we *can't*, then let's not waste money. If we *can*, then let's not pretend there is only one way to do something about it. -- dadl-ot mailing list http://mail.thehood.us/mailman/listinfo/dadl-ot_thehood.us http://news.gmane.org/gmane.music.dadl.ot
