“A New York Times/CBS News poll conducted in early 1992 showed that
public opinion on welfare changed depending on how the question was
worded. If the word “welfare” was used, 44 percent of those questioned said
too much was being spent on welfare (while 50 percent said either that the
right amount was being spent, or that too little was being spent. But when the
question was about “assistance to the poor,” only 13 percent thought too much
was being spent, and 64 percent thought too little was being spent.
This suggested that both parties were trying to manufacture an antihumanneeds mood by constant derogatory use of the word “welfare,” and then to
claim they were acting in response to public opinion. The Democrats as well
as the Republicans had strong connections to wealthy corporations. Kevin

“A newborn child has to cry, for only in this way will his lungs expand. A doctor once told me of a child who could not breathe when it was born. In order to make it breathe the doctor gave it a slight blow. The mother must have thought the doctor cruel. But he was really doing the kindest thing possible. As with newborn children the lungs are contracted, so are our spiritual lungs. But through suffering God strikes us in love. Then our lungs expand and we can breathe and pray.”

I reached Mandalay after many nights hiding and sleeping in the jungle. How I escaped with my life I do not know. From Mandalay I managed to get on a train and eventually found my way here.’ He came a little closer and almost whispered, ‘Sahib, I am staying in the Police Lines. You must let me and my pal guard your bungalow or….’ And he drew his finger
across his throat. ‘Believe me I have seen many tragedies during the past few weeks.’ I smiled, thanked him and said I would send for him and his pal should I find it necessary. I had many native friends who I knew would be helpful and kind to refugees and I regarded the policeman’s tale as greatly exaggerated. The next day this good man joined the stream of refugees hastening to the frontier
of India … Captain Gribble”
