ROFL - I don't know Mark but I had someone put a copy of what Tim just posted on my chair at work about 2 weeks ago and Tim just posted that message to me. I must say that I take great pride that people think of me when they read something like this. Things are much better for me these days but I was very resentful when I was 24 years old and trying to do everything right. Trying to provide a good life for my wife and I with hopes of adding children to the family that I not only had to try to fill this tall order but had the government telling me that I MUST support the lifestyle of people who refuse to work for a living or have thrown away their life by not taking advantage of the educational system provided at tax payer expense. I once came real close to getting arrested after waiting for 2 men and a woman to check out over $200 of some of the finest meats and foods the grocery store had to offer and pay for them with food stamps. That was fine as that is part of the current system but when they had several $100 bills and used one of them to pay for their cigarettes and beer I must admit that I did create a bit of a stir in that grocery store that day. Suffice it to say that several hundred people knew how I felt that day.
