dadofthree: I suggest you pick up your local newspaper and check the jobs section. if you truly believe that, I think you are VERY out of touch with things in this country as they are today.
Also, there are a large percentage of people who are homeless because of mental disorders...but im sure you think they want to be that way.
In my area of the country, unemployment is around 18%. This means that almost 1 in 5 people in this area are looking for work, but cannot find work. This doesnt even count the ones who are not working, but have given up hope of finding anything, have gone back to school, are working part time instead of full time, or working a job FAR below their pay grade/abilities.
You cant REALLY be that out of touch with the world, can you? I'd expect a lot better of folks than to make a statement like you did.
