L.A. County's foster-care system is barely functioning, but don't worry, they've got plenty of bureaucrats studying the problem. The LA Weekly interviews one here.

    Truly inspirational.

  2. Steve   22 years ago

    Yeah. I’m inspired to think California is more hosed up than I originally believed.

  3. Charles   22 years ago

    I am most certainly NOT responsible for those kids.

    I didn’t fuck their mama.

  4. Madog   22 years ago

    Perhaps the solution would be private foster care companies and a voucher program.

  5. Charles   22 years ago

    I *live* in LA.

    And still, I didn’t Fuck their mama.

    Of course… I’m gay, but you can’t hold that against me.

  6. Steve   22 years ago

    Charles, a true Libertarian would never hold that against you.

  7. Lefty   22 years ago

    That cracked me up. God bless you, Charles.

  8. Lefty   22 years ago

    You sound a little touchy there, Charles. Ever been to LA?

  9. Steve   22 years ago

    I think Lefty should go to LA and take personal control of these kids.

  10. Lizzie   22 years ago

    good luck selling privatization, it will be called selling children and and considered “unthinkable” (who cares if it may be a truly progressive and god forbid effective solution)

  11. Warren   22 years ago

    Foster care – Yet another way the state abuses it’s authority and oppresses the powerless
