Is there a shortage of spaces for garden plots?

Garden plots make a lot of Sense- they require a certain amount of tillage equipment, secured storage, etc.
Plus security against harvest pilferage.

PLus transporation to and form . Worked in Russai in the Soviet Union,

Good one... Nice to see that you move the goal posts whenever you are asked an inconvenient question.

The only goal post I have set is that corporate welfare exists. I have no need to move it as you haven't bothered to refute it.

Responsibility is completely contingent to this discussion, especially as it relates to this issue.

It's contingent to your point but again, you seem to be arguing against yourself.

I didn't even bother to read the link..

Whiy am I not surprised? LOL

So, corporate welfare is OK in this instance?

Welfare, whether personal or corporate is OK if it accomplishes a well defined goal and is in the greater public interest. Unlike you, I do not differentiate between the two. In both cases, it is public money going to individuals.

Sure it exists and for the very same reason that you detailed below.

Looks like we're on the same page here

Oh but they are not starving. Our poor are not only the most well fed poor in the world... they are the most obese class in the country!

But seriously... give us free food or we'll commit crimes... that is crazy. How about work?[/QUOTE]


Ok- what is your business plan to provide full employment in Puerto rico? I'm all ears...

We have several in my neighbourhood. It's all volunteer run on city loaned property and the gates are open to raiding 24/7. To date nobody has trashed any of the gardens.

I should have posted in a semi-purplish hue.

I think that we maintain fundamental differences when one analyzes the individual details

I thought we were talking about the states but I'll answer this.

Puerto Rico is not even a state! Why should the U.S provide full employment and feed those that aren't working?

Now, do you know the difference between United States and United States of America?

United States is a group of islands and territories i.e.. Guam, Virgin, Vanuatu, Mariannas PR etc and are run separate from the United States of America.

Close. Vanuatu is actually independent.

Olivia Newton John wrote their national anthem

A place where nobody dared to go
The love that we came to know
They call it Vanuatu
(It takes your breath and it'll leave you blind)

And now, open your eyes and see
What we have made is real
We are in Vanuatu
(A dream of it, we offer you)

A million lights are dancing
And there you are, a shooting star
An everlasting world
And you're here with me eternally


Vanuatu Vanuatu
(Now we are here)
In Vanuatu
Vanuatu

I guess you didn't know it was an unincorporated territory! Nice try!

And how many voting members of congress are from Puerto Rico?

Can Puerto Rico vote to give up its status as a territory and go off on their own? Yes!

Can any other state? No!
