My ginger boy kitten is very special kitten, he is very intelligent and very affectionate and very energetic, he loves endless cuddles and he just can’t get enough of belly stroking ! he’s my first male kitten, all my previous cats were female because i was always scared to have a male cat spraying around the house but so far my kitten hasn’t done any spraying at all but then again he’s nearly 4 months old soi bought her nearly a month ago and it was the love at first sight when i saw his white paws and his tuxedo style white fur i just had to have him but i was also aware that male kittens can be more energetic but i took a chance on him and so far he has been golden just like his golden fur, but i have noticed that he is very energetic and he’s probably not suited to live in a home without a garden because unfortunately i don’t have a garden and i think he gets a bit frustrated not being able to run around free in an open space, i was so used to have lazy persian cats in the past that i had no idea how different breeds of cats can be so different in their energy level and that’s why despite the fact that i have already close bonds with him and i’m sure he also is extremely found of me yet i don’t think that it’s fair to deprive him from his god given freedom to roam around in open spaces because he is extremely strong kitten and i think he has very good genes because his strength is phenomenal, and that’s why he needs a forever home with a garden, of course i’ve been playing with him every day several times a day and so far i have managed to keep him somewhat less frustrated but he’s growing up very fast and my flat isn’t big enough for him to satisfy his natural instincts to play in open spaces

In the color of welfare, jill quadagno takes exception to these claims, placing race at the centre of the "american dilemma," as swedish economist gunnar myrdal did half a century agosome critics have explained the failure of social programs by citing our tradition of individual freedom and libertarian values, while others point to weaknesses within the working classthe color of welfare reveals the root cause of this failure-the inability to address racial inequalitydrawing on extensive primary research, quadagno shows, for instance, how roosevelt, in need of support from southern congressmen, excluded african americans from the core programs of the social security actat the same time, affirmative action clashed openly with organized labor, and equal housing raised protests from the white suburban middle-class, who didn't want their neighborhoods integratedoxfam bookshop hove thirty years after lyndon johnson declared a war on poverty, the united states still lags behind most western democracies in national welfare systems, lacking such basic programs as national health insurance and child care support" yet instead of finally instituting full democratic rights for all its citizens, the policies enacted in that turbulent decade failed dismallyquadagno shows that nixon, who initially supported many of johnson's programs, eventually caught on that the white middle class was disenchantedin the s, the united states embarked on a journey to resolve the "american dilemmajob training programs, for instance, became affirmative action programs, programs to improve housing became programs to integrate housing, programs that began as community action to upgrade the quality of life in the cities were taken over by local civil rights groupsfrom reconstruction to lyndon johnson and beyond, quadagno reveals how american social policy has continually foundered on issues of racehe realized that his grand plan for welfare reform, the family assistance plan, threatened to undermine wages in the south and alienate the republican party's new constituency-white, southern democrats-and therefore dropped itsee oxfam website for delivery information read morethe "american creed" of liberty, justice, and equality clashed with a history of active racial discrimination, says quadagnothis shift of emphasis eventually alienated white, working-class americans, who had some of the same needs-for health care, subsidized housing, and job training opportunities-but who got very little from these programsturning to lyndon johnson's "unconditional war on poverty," she contends that though anti-poverty programs for job training, community action, health care, housing, and education have accomplished much, they have not been fully realized because they became inextricably intertwined with the civil rights movement of the s, which triggered a white backlashit is racism that has undermined the war on poverty, and america must come to terms with this history if there is to be any hope of addressing welfare reform today
