I understand how you feel Judith, but guess what, we can't kill Maybelline's
kids. That would make life a lot easier, but, we have to live w/ the fact
that she DID have the children. It's sad, it's not fair, but so be it. She
had the kids. Should we lock her up? I don't think so. Should we tie her
tubes? No, we aren't Nazis. Should we stop giving her more money? That only
punishes her kids. So, what do we do? I don't know.
Again, Judith, you are blaming Marva for Maybelline's problem. You are
saying that you don't want to pay for public schools because of Maybelline -
be honest, how many Maybellines do you think they are? Many people use
welfare for what it is meant to be - a temporary safety net.

I agree with her. She SHOULD have kept her knees together - but again
remember that at this point in time, she has the kids. They are already out.
If you want to be a hardadd to Maybelline, fine, but her kids didn't commit
any crimes.

This is a totally different topic.

You sure about that? I thought some schools gave away birth control?
