I read an article somewhere, yesterday, about an NO couple, and the fact that their "good Samaritans" were getting tired of supporting them. The excuse the couple is using is that they are waiting for the right opportunity to come along. I read that as saying they are too damned good to shovel chicken poop, which is what I had to do, when I was 15, and wanted to buy a used motorscooter. The only thing I was ever too good to do was draw unemployment.
Welfare is part of a civil society, but it has gone way too far.

Thank you for your reply. I couldn't agree more.

In my lifetime I have worked a job or two that weren't my first choices, but I refused to rely on unemployment or government assistance. There is absolutely nothing wrong with waiting for the 'right opportunity' to come along ... but don't expect somebody else to carry you while you wait. Get a job and at least try to pay your way.

I read your profile page and would like to FReepmail you some comments, if you don't mind.
