what I gained from Dr. Seipel's social welfare policy class...

Woman A -- husband runs out on her. She ends up on Welfare.
Woman B -- husband dies. She ends up on Social Security.

The woman on welfare faces horrible stigma and unnecessary baggage (using food stamps to shop, seen as a "welfare queen," having kids so she can get more money, etc. etc...) versus the woman on social security (survivalist benefit, everyone helps her, admires her for her strength, etc. etc.).

Therefore it is better if your husband dies on you versus running out.

So...the MORAL of the STORY for all you women out there is:

"If you are a woman, don't let your husband get away...
kill him before he goes!"
