that is just absolutely absurd in a country as prosperous as the US. -- nm - Andie Nov 4, 07:25 3
- well, i mean, we're using our prosperity to buy food for all those kids. it would be absurd if we didn't have easily accessible food stamps. -- nm - TFox Nov 4, 07:29 2
  - fair enough, but it seems appalling that 90% of black youths are in that situation. -- nm - Andie Nov 4, 07:34 1
    - it's awful, and yet i constantly remind myself: MLK was shot all of 41 years ago. -- nm - TFox Nov 4, 07:37
I find that number to be so staggerring that I doubt it just because it is so staggerring...does that make sense? -- nm - Beaker Nov 4, 07:24 1
- the only thing that surprises me is that that many parents took the responsibility to sign up for the food stamps. -- nm - TFox Nov 4, 07:24
