Entry: Be Careful What You Ask For Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/be_careful_what_you_ask_for#17992 Post contents: Indeed, poverty is the way for spiritual enlightment, as Saint Francis of Assissi showed. But if you want to make a conservative critique of welfare, you better not have it advanced by those who are very visibly not embracing porverty for themselves and seem secure that their own possessions will not hinder their own spirituality. In short, if you want others to embrace poverty, you must preach by example. As Saint Francis did. Sent at: 2008 05 16
