I agree downwardspiral. From what I've heard this isn't Section 8 housing, so I'm sure hardworking people like Sting can apply as well.

"The oldest trick in America is to take a place of value, send in the scum and drive down property values to next to zero - come in buy up the land and build a Mecca where low lifes are not allowed." There's so much truth in that one sentence.

I would agree popdukes12 about the "we do the thinking" part of your post, however even educating may not undo the damage that has been done.
For proof get admitted to a hospital in California, Arizona, and some other states and chances are that your one of nurses may be one of the 10,000 Filipino nurses who work in this country on visas every day. Call tech support for any product and you'll notice that most of the people answering are from India. Or talk to one of the thousands of people who live in Boulder Colorado, like my cousin, who went into IT and computer related jobs because of the potential for growth, but over the last 4-5 years have seen their jobs at Lucent Technologies, Sun Microsystems, IBM, and Cisco move jobs over to India, Brazil, etc...
The hired help is more than capable of doing the thinking as well; it seems like CEO's and shareholders alike don't mind them doing so.

These responses are hilarious and sad. This program is an extension of an already existing program. As somebody who has been a part of organizations to help the elderly, I can say that I've seen elderly people who actually needed this service benefit from them. I'm not saying that some people may get over, but I will say that I've personally witnessed the homes of at least 6 elderly people being sealed and weatherized several years ago.
I believe that’s the problem with society today, some are busy trying to get over, while others are so busy trying to prevent others they feel are abusing the system from doing so, that people who really need it never get the help they need.

Archangelsk sort of has a point. The atmosphere created by the citizens of Selma adds to the already difficult task of bringing new and retaining existent jobs in the Black Belt region.
Since the 80's, Selma, the Black Belt, and the South as a whole have been bleeding jobs to cheaper labor overseas. It's not Selma's problem alone. To top it off, there's the current economic conditions that exist worldwide. Meadowcraft is just another victim of capitalistic competition.

I agree with Toad on the statement "in reality it cost more to execute the average prisoner than to hold them for life under our present system". That's true due to the cost of funding the series of appeals, lawyers, court appearances, etc...that individuals are given prior to actually being executed.

Also the Surgeon General has as much to do with the state of healthcare, medicaid and medicare, as Ronald McDonald has to do with making your burger.

Another potentially positive thread turned into a race war. The Surgeon General is an appointed position and for the most part, the Surgeon General serves as a spokeman or mouthpiece for public health.

I agree saveselma. I doubt that would fly in his court.
