i'm deeply offended by an attitude that
leads to word-choices such as "useless"
and "bums" and "superfluous" in regard to
human beings who simply do not have jobs.
are people really "useless" if they do not
provide labor to make rich people richer?
if the economic system can't make a profit
off your presence, are you "superfluous"?
is this the mentality that would cause
our "leaders" to abandon health-care for
the large majority of our population who
will soon be unable to afford insurance?
and please don't tell me that a _job_
is necessary to make people feel useful.
many wealthy people seem to be able to
do nothing productive at all, without
having doubt about their right to exist.
