newmoonpuppyhead: Congrats, man. That's great. But you fell into the trap that Weaver and others like him like to set. It's called subjectivity. You need to look beyond what you have done and realize not everyone can.Why can't everyone? Are you referring to the disabled? I live in the ghetto right now, and I see tricked out caddies everyday. Know what I ride to work? Public transportation. Is the system abused? Like a virgin on prom night. Notice what I was doing while getting benefits......I was working. So I was paying taxes. So MY money went toward helping ME and MY family. Makes me feel all warm and snuggly. Socialism/communism does NOT work. Ask Gorbachev. Small potatoes, around 100 people, maybe. Socialized medicine? Against it. Not feasible to support. Also note that I'm not agreeing with EVERYTHING he says. Things like re-educate. Been doing every year of my life. WORK HARD and SMART. Have you ever been threatened with bodily harm for simply doing your job? I have. Ask yourselves some questions:Have YOU ever been homeless?If you haven't can't really compare apples to oranges, but I'm rambling now.Gist of all this: NO ONE supported me. I used programs designed in the fashion they were implemented: TO HELP ME. I never have and NEVER will live off of welfare. SOMEONE will always have a job for me. I think it's asinine that the unions protect the stupid and the lazy. It's darwinism in reverse

There are a lot of things I don't understand, and one that I especially don't get is the idea that if you live in the ghetto, all your earnings or even the majority of your earnings have to be from welfare? You think no one does anything in the underground economy to get money? Not to mention any above board jobs these people may have. I'm fairly well off, and even I, with my mini job here, and my studying there, know to have somethong on the side(don't worry- it's perfectly legal to make jewelry and one inch buttons and sell them.) But I just don't get that! I guess looking in from the outside, you can only get a small amount of information about the workings of a place, and if you really don't care to get any information, just to complain, well...
