It takes all kinds to make a world. I am not painting everyone with the
same brush but can't help but be reminded of a family I knew and became
so disgusted with that I learned to avoid them like the plague. They
were on welfare. Dad and the two teen girls lived on Kraft dinner while
mom went next door to a restaurant. He was signed on to every employment
workshop around and managed to sabotage every job they lined up within
weeks. The younger daughter left home to live on student welfare but
spend most of her waking hours at her parents' house, not at school.
Mother went to college to take a course that would train her to be a
social worker. The older daughter somehow got into the same two year
program but set out to get pregnant just in time to have to drop out on
maternity leave half way through the second year.

It was ironic that they would be taking courses to be social workers.
They needed a social worker.

Somehow they managed to maintain two cars, and everyone in the family
had their own state of the art computer, and this was a few years ago
when computers were a lot more expensive than they are now. Of course
they had to have multiple telephone lines so they could each be on line
most of the day.. before the days of DSL.

They even had handicapped permits for both cars. It seems that big fat
momma had broken her arm and it was hard for her to carry books to
class. Years later they were still using the permits. She was just too
lazy to walk, and he had no excuse for using a permit issued to her.
Thank goodness they tightened the requirements for those things.


I have no idea what those people are up to these days. I hope they moved
out of the country so that the rest of us don't have to support their
lazy asses.
