In my world, there is a class of people who work, and then there are those who are jerks...

Gershon, you almost sounded like Hamlet. Well written as usual. A job? Do people work anymore? Or are we out to get life free from the gov. Let the workers pay for us. Boooooo! Pangie

Can't understand this aversion to work. Are we a nation of 'Maynard G. Krebs?!' Sure hope it's only temporary... :) gw
