dig420 I find it interesting that you attach race with welfare....I never did, and I don't in my mind either. I'm perfectly aware of the facts regarding welfare in this country. I try to read sources from ALL sides of the issue, not just the once that reinforce my own pre-existingviews.
As for me being on welfare someday....you should be careful to know the person you're talking to. After the Gulf war, when I got out of the army, I WAS homeless, broke, and jobless in LA (in 93 when the unemployment rate was 14%). I did what it took to get myself a job. I dug through the trash to get the classifieds, I walked up to 10 miles to go to interviews (hiding my stuff in the dumpster behind the building. After a few months I got a job and I got out of the city park where I was sleeping. A few months later I became the assist manager of the phone room. I went back to the park and offered EVERY single person that I had known there a job. Not ONE showed up.
Now, 10 years later, I have worked my ass off.....I have a brand new 330 ci convertable, a boat, and a place on the water in Miami. Nobody gave me shit....and I worked like a mother f$#@ to get here. (I haven't had a vacation in about 4 years).
So don't tell me about what would happen if my luck changed. I already know. I would work my ass off and get myself out of it.
