Mike, because of your job all you see is the bad side of people. I 
think you don't get the point here. "Fabric of Society" eh? Who's 
society. Boy! If its not Good Ol' USofA Perfect Example there's 
something wrong with it. It is your/our society causing the damage. 
The criminals... lock 'em up. This maggot encrusted food you speak 
of... why were some people desperate enough to save maggot encrusted 
food. I'd imagine if the dumpster diving were so bleak, I'd be driven 
to take extreme measures in order to survive also.
Mike, you're a cold man. I think its the way you approach your job. 
You see the worst of people every day, because of it. It appears it 
has colored your judgement and ability to be fair. Maybe you should 
just take a few days off and go fishing, with a non LEO, to get your 
perspective back.
I'm one of those people, Mike. I crawled out without any help from 
your social programs... on my terms... without the fabric of your 
overpaid "counselors" manulipulating my life as to the needs of the 
accounting department and policical expediency.
I didn't do it without a small break, around 30 years ago. It led to 
something better; then things progressed. For the last decade and 
more I made and average of 25-30K a year. Many of my friends have 
done the same... also without being "greased" up the wazoo by your 
system... don't say its mine!
There's other ways to do things, Mike.  Honorable ways.
