It captures more than you would have thought it would, seeing the casual way she raised her camera and snapped the pic. It made me stop.37paddingtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12400464105403622384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9107151958453669111.post-33925223872181845542009-05-04T18:40:00.000-04:002009-05-04T18:40:00.000-04:00I love Deborah's idea.

(I know you think I'm exaggerating, but I'm not.) The agency could have made her pay that $3.49 to them, if they had been so inclined, which would have been fine. But since they took the action they did, the solution will probably take another path, involving her disability trust. Long complicated story involving lawyers and multiple fair hearings and such.

The very rich and the very poor will be taken care of. Those in between get caught in all the loopholes. And not even the people at social services know what the rules are! Thanks for getting mad, though.
