Wait, isn't it logical to say that the host can do whatever they want with the parasite?
You keep using this word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
And anyway, KMA, you are not the "host." You are one cell in the "host." The "host" is the United States. The United States and the states (or organs, to continue the silly biology metaphor) choose to help other cells in the Body Politic (that worked out nicely, now I think on it) through limited welfare programs (see my post earlier referencing the PRWORA). So thanks for playing and don't forget to pick up your parting gifts on your way out.
