<Killrbyte> In Oregon, they give food stamps on a debit-type
card, called the Oregen Trail card.  But they're given in two
ways: Either Cash or Food.  If its Food, then they can only
buy Food with it, if its Cash (Which is rare), then they can
anything, or even just cash out the card when it gets
recharged automatically.  I'm not sure who gets which, but I
know my tax money goes to it.
<Prozzy> The Oregeon Trail Card, do you have to shoot buffalo
also if you have the card? What about your family, if they're
starving or dying, can you just take them out back and shoot
them?
<qrg> whev youve nearly run out of credit on your oregon trail
card do you get to take a raft ride
<arse-poet> i love the really old school oregon trail game,
where you go hunting and you like shoot a pixel at a blob of
pixels representing a buffalo
<Prozzy> I know when I carry around my Orgeon Trail Card,
Indians come out of nowhere and shoot arrows at my car
