- Or back on welfare, sucking from the GNP. On Discovery or
- something I recently watched a show on the doleing out of smack
- methadone and coke to junkies in England, and I believe it had some
- of the same footage as the 60 min show. What 60 min lacked however,
- as it would have been found distasteful to their vewiers, I imagine,
- was an interview with a family on welfare and smack. They picked up
- both their drugs and their money courtesy of the English taxpayer, and
- there was a short segment of them in their welfare complex with their
- children in the backround and gross looking ma and pa talking about how
- they haven't worked in years. Free rent, free money, free smack -why
- should they?
