When you change to draft mode in an application, it does not stick.
When you change the printer characteristics through the control panel,
it makes a global change for all applications. Some applications will
remember the last setting though. And you are not locked into draft
mode in most printers. You can select something in between, but this
requires working with more advanced printer properties and varies with
the printer software. It bugs me to give away $9.99 and repeat the
process yearly to do something a couple of clicks away.

Exactly, and then they blame the Democrats for waste. Hey, they do
waste, but that's because the "jungle" swallows all the money they
throw at it.

I also got here a mixed path facility that goes NOWHERE. Couldn't they

Running programs costs even more money in itself.... -And government
bureaucrats who are paid to give away other people's money aren't
usually inclined to resist giving away other people's money--that's what
they're getting paid to do. If anything, they will argue that they need
even MORE of other people's money to give away.

How about just cutting welfare 20% per year over the next five years?
Anyone "dependent" upon it now would have plenty of time to get their
shit together.

Social welfare isn't vastly expensive but it is morally objectionable.
At least, for most people who have ever worked for a living.

I agree we should cut corporate welfare by 20% or more per year.

Socializing risk of rich investors, while allowing them to privatize
profit, is indeed morally objectionable.

The real problem is that they changed the name to "Welfare" from
"Relief".
Relief was originally designed to provide TEMPORARY relief to people
in a
tough time due to job loss, death of bread winner, etc. This was
NEVER
intended to be a multi-generational "family" business for unwed
teenage
breeders. And it used to be that you had to pay back every dime you
got. I'm
sure that's gone the way of the Dodo. If you can't feed'em, don't
breed'em.
If you have NO PROSPECTS to EVER be able to care for them, let someone
else
adopt them AT BIRTH. Guess what, a 15 year old girl and a newborn DOES
NOT A
"FAMILY" MAKE. Why doesn't Social Services get this?

I know I'm starting something, but that something is NOT a church or a
troop of monkeys.

One problem we have with "CIVILIZATION" is that we have lost the sense
of COMMUNITY, so we have descended into an irresponsible and
reprehensible LAW OF THE JUNGLE. I can't even ride a bike in my
community, so you figure...

Now we only need the CHIEF and the SHAMAN. ;)

I don't know about the chief, but I see the shaman being more
important than the Pope...

Here this lady, in her own jungle language, suggests that I should
start a TRIBE!

I've already started my own tribe. Free membership, so don't
hesitate.

The motto is: "YOU SCRATCH MY BACK, I SCRATCH YOURS," learned from the
grooming monkeys.

Yeah, but I want to have the pleasure to do it with my own hands, so
to speak.

I don't want God to come and impregnate my girlfriend like he did with
baby Jesus, for sure.

http://www.buffalonews.com/2010/03/21/994517/giving-cash-without-offense.html?page=2#comment

Dear Miss Manners: A dear friend of many years has fallen on hard
times. She is a single mother and her son will be starting college in
the fall. She has confided to a mutual friend that she is worried that
she may not be able to afford the costs. Her son is a wonderful young
man, and I would like to help both of them out. He has a scholarship
for his tuition, and I would like to pay his room and board for the
upcoming year.

I am thinking of contacting the school and simply paying the room and
board and asking them to tell her it was part of the scholarship, but
this seems dishonest. However, my friend is a very proud woman and I
do not want to embarrass her in any way, and I'm afraid telling her I
want to pay the room and board would make her uncomfortable.

What is the most polite way to handle such a situation? Is there a
general rule for giving money to a friend in need? This would be a
gift —no repayment would be expected.

(snip)

MM's response is nice, but the commenters - 17 of them or so -
disagree with it, and I have to wonder if they aren't right.

Check out the letter that follows it, too - it's about wedding gifts.

Lenona.
