Yes because it's easy to determine physically disability while glancing at someone as you drive by. There are days where I am able to cut my own grass (they are rare, but they happen.) There are days when my friend, who has lymphoma, is able to work. Disabled means you aren't consistently able to work enough. Also interesting you can establish paternity visually. And I'm certian there are many women out there willing to go through the difficulties of parenting in exchange for food stamps. You mentioned the word obtuse? Yes I think that's the appropriate descriptor here.

"Imagine if you had to pay for a public defender, and you'd only get your money back if you were found innocent". Actually, it's sort of like this. If you are found guilty, you will be charged for the services of your public defender as part of a probationary fine .

We fed the worl organically for 10 thousand years. When corporations invented pesticides, fertilizers, and herbicides mid 20th century they coupled that with a massive advertising campaign that have effectively convinced people we can't farm without their products. Bullshit. There's zero problem with the amount of food produced. There's only a problem with the distribution model.

Our state and federal institutions are separate from our religious institutions as specified by the Constitution. In this case we have no legal requirement or even justification for doing what the majority wants. If a parent wants their children to receive a religious education they may provide that at home, church, or at a private religious school.
