The sign of a lazy mind is going to platitudes...

btw...could you provide a link to support your statement about lazy minds? Don't know if mine is lazy, as you imply. I do love to learn tho, but I assume you assumed I don't.

My solution would begin with making attendance in some kind of behavioral therapy program a condition of receiving welfare.

Yea, let's spend some more money and start a new bureaucracy and hire an army of behavioral associates. Yes!!! Yes!!! More government is the answer.

Yes, we'll add another 500 Billion to the next Stimulus Bill. That will pull us out of this Depression disguised as a double dip recession.:ohdear:

ladydoc~You painted the problem into a corner. You said it might work if they could get jobs, but then you put an end to that solution as laughable. Whether my comments could be interpreted as platitudes is subjective, as they were only insignigicant in your opinion and not based on any fact that I am aware of.
I therefore wrongly assumed that you had no viable resolution to the problem...my bad:sad:
As far as being able or up to any kind of work, or the need for behavior therapy...The Pacific Garden Mission in the heart of Chicago has been serving these kinds of people since 1877. Their method is that they will give you a meal and a place to lay your head at night in exchange for your work. If that only means folding sheets, peeling potatoes, washing the dishes or toilet...than that is what it means. For over 130 years, the Mission has been incredibly successful with helping drug addicts, drunks, etc to turn their lives around. http://www.pgm.org/ My Mom-in-Law's cousin Elaine Hauge, was the director of the women and childrens division for 37 years. http://www.moody.edu/edu_MainPage.aspx?id=12068 Elaine has many stories that would curl your hair and bless your heart at the same time. From her I have learned that there is no time like the present to start to help others AND never give up HOPE that they can change!

I said was being facetious, something I thought people could recognize ie: I said like it is so easy to get a job these days. The examples you gave are not work ie: how to make a living. OH MY---it is a type of behavioral therapy! Imagine that...just what I said.

My examples are a start. Some people can wise up on their own. You can give them that much can't you? :a040:

I am not going to keep repeating myself over and over. If you don't get it by now..you won't.

I wonder how many billions and billions of tax $$$ have funded the DEA in the last fifty years. Every kid in every highschool for the past fifty years knew who was selling drugs. Everyone of us personally knows families severly affected by illegal drug use and with these relatively new oxy-something drugs it is even worse. Mexico etc.
DEA? What a joke and they wonder why we are concerned about government run healthcare.

Obviously, Katz and village gofer know that VA medical centers hire a lot of behavioral therapists and associates. I see you are both against VA health care for veterans. Men and women who put their lives on the line for our country deserve health care - both physical and mental health care. Yes, that includes psychologists, behavioral therapists, addiction therapists, physical therapists, and a host of other specialities.

Oh, you attempted to make a point? I guess I didn't get it.
