This child with have every material possession it desires. But it will most likely not get adequate love and attention. I used to be jealous of people who had a lot of expensive things. Now, I really just pity them. Things can disappear in an instant and weigh us down physically and mentally.
Thank God for the generosity of all these kindly folks. Pay no mind to the thousands of babies born every day amidst conditions of poverty, hunger, and abuse, who could use nourishment, clothing, shelter, and eventually an education, much less a $600,000 rocking horse.

Same story goes for all the millions spent on a damn campaign these days. It pisses me off that there are so many capable people who could get a college degree to better themselves if they desired that can't because they can't come up with the money. Or even feeding the starving millions. Nope, Beyonce's little kid needs a gold crib to crap in... Give me a break.
I have a Senior next year who is planning on college. I was just told by a friend of mine that in order for her to get loans, Student Loan organizations are NOW making someone cosign for them. WHAT THE F**K?!?! I just paid mine off damn it!!

I read somewhere that it costs about $100,000 on average to have a child and raise it to the age of 18. So six kids could have their entire childhoods covered for the cost of a stupid bauble.

You mean I get to pick? OK, my two and we can hold a random drawing for the the other four.

Well, if there's enough for six, someone has to choose which six. Then everyone complains that those ones get a free ticket through college, when instead you could clothe and feed 300, oh wait, clothe 2000, or give 600,000 one meal. Which 600,000 each get a dollar? What does it cost to run that lottery?
> You think $100,000 will raise a kid AND put him/her through college?
So I lost track of the original limits, the point still stands. It makes no sense to complain about one kid getting $600,000 rather than 60,000,000 kids (about how many there were in the US a few years ago) each getting a penny, which is the only "fair" way to distribute that amount.
