Spoke-N-Sants online: GONNA MISS THIS ...

FROM MEG:

"I think we've been through a period where too many people have been given to understand that if they have a problem, it's the government's job to cope with it. 'I have a problem, I'll get a grant.' 'I'm homeless, the government must house me.' They're casting their problem on society. And you know, there is no such thing as society. There are individual men and women, and there are families. And no government can do anything except through people, and people must look to themselves first. It's our duty to look after ourselves and then, also, to look after our neighbour. People have got the entitlements too much in mind, without the obligations. There's no such thing as entitlement, unless someone has first met an obligation."

GONNA MISS THIS ...

Little boys happily playing in the backyard.

Sigh. I sure do love Spokane and my house and neighbors and my yard and the weather and my neighborhood.

Thanks for being sympathetic about our "hunt." I hope the story ends well and ends soon instead of dragging on!; Friday, June 5, 2009 8:00:00 PM PDT
