First of all.. If you are too poor to buy food then how in the frick do you have enough money to pay a cable bill?? Maybe they hijack it I don't know. But then comes in the question how to you affor a TV.. People need to get their priorities in order for the most part. I have had neighbors before that don't work because they are lazy. I'm talking like 8 people living in a single wide trailer, babies walking around in the road with nothing but a diaper on.. Now some of these people might really have problems, but I've seen a bunch of cases where it is lack of a work ethic and just pure old laziness.

Now i know first hand that the drug epidemic around here is terrible. I know that people will do anything to get a fix. Even if that means they have to put their kids on the back burner so to speak. I know of situations where the parent has left there 8 year old by itself for a few hours so the mom can go party for a few hours.

This area is world renowned for its drug use, and that is one of the reasons for the poverty level. That and a severe lack of good paying jobs. However I also think that the majority of people can do some things to help themselves. I don't feel sorry for anyone who can work and don't for whatever reason, and I never will..
