That probably has more to do with "desire" to work than "experience" or "job training." Most of those who choose to sit on their sorry asses for a living know that the Imperial Federal Government will take care of them from cradle to grave if they will only vote to keep them in office. Spread the socialism around with a knife, evenly over the population, so that we are all even, thus led by those who were "born to lead us" and who "has the knowledge, experience, education" to lead we poor, misdirected, peasants. Way too many people fall for that. Instead of doing it yourself, being an individual, they choose to be part of a "group." You know groups don't you? The "sick, poor, misguided, lame, aged, seasoned, disabled, dumb, alcoholic, drug addict, blacks, whites, greens, yellows, browns, blues, purples, poka-dotted races." You know groups. The socialist democrat/Islamic loving liberals, love to put people into GROUPS! We have GROUP think. No individual achievement. So, in that opinion, I think that ARod owes me money. He did not get those great stats and that $25 million contract on his own. I watched him. I am part of the group of "watchers" and "hero worshipers," thus we all should get some of that money! Don't cha think???? :-)

I think it also has to do with the fact that they don't get any training from their Dads because--one for thing--they have no dads. I must say that it applies to the middle-class as well. When I was a kid I learned from my dad how to use an ax. He had had to learn to use an ax in otder to cut firewood. I didn't but used it to help clear brush on a lease. I remember an occasion where he was talking to someone while I was working. the fellow commented that he was impressed I could use an ax, because his son, a civil engineer, handled an ax "like a girl." Of course this puffed me up a bit--and made my dad grin.
