Soup kitchen challenge

Here's a challenge for all my leninist, maoist, trotskyst, stalinist, and all leftist friends of all flavors and persuasions, and for all the "tolerant," the "generous," and the "compassionate" out there--in a word, a challenge for all "progressive" thinkers: Say you were a hungry bum waiting diligently in line at a soup kitchen, and some other hungry bum cuts in front of you and sneaks in. And not only that the staff don't boot him out, but they let him stay and feed him, and part of the staff (the "progressive" ones) even cheer him on, and attempt to shield him from the wrath of the redneck staff. Now say that once you reach your turn at the soup kitchen door you get turned down simply because there's no more soup/food left. Would you not feel like dipping the lucky bum, as well as the "progressive" staff, in the finest napalm this side of Da Nang? Heck, would you not feel the same even if you were allowed in?
