Ideas on a Comparatively Sleepless Night

Paula is one of the strong and she fights for "Political Brownie Points". It all sounds very plausible but speaking from her high chair and her comfortable salary, to me, it seems nothing but a two faced argument.

The people who I feel sorry for are the Police. Caught in the middle of the angst between Rich and Poor, more and more they have to live life on the knife edge. They are the real Heroes. We follow other Societies like dumb sheep into a Humanitarian Abyss! God help us the day we follow the Americans and turn to Guns to stop the Anarchy!

Anyway - in the middle of a relatively sleepless night when I was contemplating the Humanity which we show the I.H.C. I think I found the Solution for Psychiatric Patients, Drugs Addicts and the Unemployed alike to give them a sense of Dignity and let them feel Part of the Community. I think Every Community should have Work Shops, or "Sweat Shops" as Paula would rather have it! Actually I don't think that at all. As it is we have developed to the stage of drop in centres which Society generally looks upon as a bunch of loosers and tossers but it would be not a huge step to offering these people payment for occupying their time. That way the Unemployed, for what ever reason, would have opportunity to acquire a sense of self-esteem and Dignity. Unlike Paula I think they should be paid the minimum hourly rate, just as we now pay the I.H.C, and I THINK it would be Humanitarian NOT to put a God Forsaken Lid on rewarding effort! After all, what is the hourly rate of Our Politicians and how can we be so mean as to quibble over dimes by comparison? In my opinion there should still be a secure basic benefit but an opportunity to become a dignified contributing member of Our Society. I think that would give the Unemployed a reason to have some self-esteem, the Drug Addicts something better to do and it would halve the need for Psychiatric Services because it would take away the feeling that a lot of These Human Beings have of being Generally Ostracized and therefore Distressed. I think it would even reduce Bullying and Angst and provide a Truly Decent Humanitarian Safety net that would help to keep OUR POLICE OFFICERS ALIVE!
