as far as mr. bores eloquent example- if the woman meets the current program guidelines as set by the current leaders, then she has an absolute “right” to any funds the program provides under the guidelines.
everyone else >18 either endorsed the leaders that approved those standards, or didn’t organize enough votes to elect policymakers who better reflect their ideology.
don’t like it: work/vote to change it, or shutup/leave (look me up when you get to cayman!)

Discussing these subjects here and elsewhere is one of many ways that I AM working to change things! Awareness is only the beginning, and I am always trying to make people WAKE UP. Our two-party system is VERY, VERY, VERY firmly established, and our electoral system is set up to HEAVILY favor incumbents, AND the two major parties, and the two major parties have NO intention of making it easy to change this situation, and you know it, I know it, everyone knows it...I don't know why more people aren't up-in-arms about it, but I AM! So I will not be shutting up about it any time soon.
