You do not have Griffindon's support. This is too domestic and broad.

you make agood point. but i think that if the un came to my nation and told me to turn people's power back on and the like, i would have a sevear problem with people living on "the system". maybe if there was some kind limitation. like u.s. welfare has, 3 years and your off i think. i mean if people need a hand up, (not a hand out) and a charity is unavailable, then yes, there should be a temp gov assitance program
