Dear Stephanie:
Don't you just love living in a nation where the Christian practices of charity are shunned based on religion, then people complain when govt can't handle all the costs of helping the poor.
Where private church schools are mocked for what they teach, but if we used that to run our prisons, then maybe we could have programs for rehabilitation and restitution to pay back society. Instead of punishing lawabiding taxpayers with billions of dollars paying for education, health care and execution for criminals who can't work and support themselves.
Where spiritual healing could cut the costs of crime, disease and treatment, but because of "separation of church and state" this knowledge of curing causes of conditions that cost millions more to medicate, is REJECTED. The govt cannot support that, yet it can mandate insurance to pay millions more for the symptoms, instead of curing the problems for free.
Seriously, Stephanie, I think this is not about what "starts a riot" but what "starts a CULT"
well now, Salon is "openly" suggesting for people to riot...and we thought left wingers were peace loving people and care about YOU PEOPLE in this country
but then we need OslaveCare because too many people are, FAT

Food stamp recipients face a massive benefit cut set to kick in when stimulus funds expire Friday. The nationwide cut “is equivalent to about 16 meals a month for a family of three,” according to a Center on Budget and Policy Priorities analysis using the USDA’s “Thrifty Food Plan.” CBPP called the roughly $5 billion annual cut to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program “unprecedented” in “depth and breadth.”
“If you look across the world, riots always begin typically the same way: when people cannot afford to eat food,” Margarette Purvis, the president and CEO of the Food Bank for New York City, told Salon Monday. Purvis said that the looming cut would mean about 76 million meals “that will no longer be on the plates of the poorest families” in NYC alone – a figure that outstrips the total number of meals distributed each year by the Food Bank for New York City, the largest food bank in the country. “There will be an immediate impact,” she said.
“The fact that they’re going to lose what’s basically an entire week’s worth food” each month, said Purvis, “it’s pretty daunting.” She told Salon that while policymakers “are attempting to punish people for being poor,” and “people are comforted by believing that they know that a person has to have done something wrong in order to be poor,” in reality, “I can tell you that more and more folks have more than one job and are still needing help.”(continued)

Since America has such an allergy to the very Christian beliefs that our Constitution has allowed free exercise of, maybe CHINA may be the first nation to recognize and mandate spiritual healing out of pure necessity to save and support their overpopulation. I'd be curious to post a challenge, and find out which nation would figure it out first, that spiritual healing is REAL, can be proven and practiced medically as safe and cost-effective. Would America be first to recognize it and prove it scientifically; or would China jump on it first, while America is still freaked out anything in religion could be proven by science.
If America is too dumbed down to figure out we have the answers right here, but are too busy rejecting them because of "fear of religion and churches taking over." While we fearlessly impose religious ideology through the govt, letting political parties and corporate interests take over.
We aren't afraid of wasting billions of dollars for politicians and media campaigns, believing in these candidates to magically "save us." Yet we mock giving money to churches, saying they are all scams. Who is running the bigger cult here?
And the SADDEST thing is that the charities are VOLUNTARY to support and spiritual healing are FREE. Why waste billions to enslave ourselves when solutions are free?
