Occhi, at this point I don't even know what you're talking about.
I'm talking about welfare abusers (stories about women having children for extra welfare benefits, using the money for booze, etc), and you're talking about abusive police practices...

I still don't see how I helped you to make a point. 1.) The purpose of the residential schools was not to "help" natives through the stabilizing influence of voluntary social welfare provision. The purpose was to forcibly "cure" them of their heritage. Those are two very different things.

Nor I, nor any man that is,
With nothing shall be pleased till he be eased
With being nothing.
