We Have Been SO Blind

Dear kindly social worker,
They say go earn a buck.
Like be a soda jerker,
Which means like be a schumck.
It's not I'm anti-social,
I'm only anti-work.
Gloryosky! That's why I'm a jerk!*

And to think that the problem all along has been anomie!

I say chaps, just look to your southern neighbors and you'll find great solutions soon enough! Why, we've thrown easily a TRILLION dollars at social welfare programs since 1960,from welfare coupons,to subsidized housing, to affirmitive action,to midnight basketball. And look at those amazing results! 70% born out of wedlock rate! High school test scores the lowest ever! 3 million in jail! And well over half of them black! 15% of all black men convicted felons! And most recently, when those nasty Nazis wanted to walk down the sidewalks of Toledo, black gangs and other idlers rioted, destroying several businesess and homes, and all the while shrieking that the Nazis have no RIGHT to protest in THEIR neighborhood, but of course, they wanted their own behavior excused as black rage. Oh, and half of all violent crimes committed in the U.S. are by blacks. So, don't waste time! Crank out some dough, sit back, feel guilty for some one else's shortcomings and faults, and watch the fun begin!
