i understand where you are coming from, dave, but such cases do exist. i had
one for a neighbor, but as i said, they are the exception rather than the rule.
when republican politicians use this as a campaign tactic it only works
because the system IS flawed. i tried to look up the urban myth on snopes and
this is what i got:
Sorry, no matches were found containing welfare mommies.
We're sorry you didn't find what you were looking for. Please try again, this
time basing your search on one or two words you deem central to the item you
are looking for. Because many items circulate in numerous forms, often this
slight shift in strategy will locate articles that a search on a specific
string or title missed.
