I keep thinking of all the nasty, condescending remarks people in this forum have made about unemployed people and about the truly homeless people (not the bums). As I see each thread about more and more layoffs, I wonder if they will be among those who lose their jobs - and I wonder if they will call THEMSELVES lazy and say all of the hateful things to THEMSELVES that they said about others.

People are coming to Las Vegas by the thousands every month, because they hear there's so many job opportunities here. I checked the classifieds tonight. If they are any indication, good luck is all I can say. For example, there were just TWO secretarial positions available in a city of 1.5 million people! Although I don't know the salary opportunities, you can bet your bottom dollar that wages will be low - since there is such a large job pool to draw from, making jobs at a premium.

I can't stop thinking of the young mother with a little boy about ten years old. He reminded me of one of my own sons about that age, and I complimented her on how polite he was. All of a sudden, she burst out crying. I was astonished. After she gained her composure, she explained that they were homeless. She was out of work and couldn't find a job. Poor thing. She had no front teeth. Who would want to hire her?

It's cold outside. May God see to the poor homeless children and keep them warm.

Judy, it's pathethic. We have homeless living under the bridge in Caribou! It's 1 degree out there right now. Can you imagine? I shudder to think.

But for the grace of God go I.

(sarcasm) Judy, Judy, Judy - don't you know - these people just need to start their own business.
