especially for "just a mom" and doubly for "just a single mom".

Forget being a Christian or Civilized Nation...we're not even equivalent to the Godless Socialist or Banana Republic nations that are scorned ... in the care of our young, elderly, ill and poor.

Instead, we sanctimoniously brandish our shiny, new weapons as we lecture/police the rest of the world. Because, that's the trade-off.

For shame.
