>All the responses here have been solidly middle class condemnations. There are so many forces at work here, I don't even know where to begin. Sorry, but no That story could have been written about my dad almost 30 years ago when gas prices climbed and manufacturing in IN collapsed. Only my dad didn't sit on his butt, drink beer, and waste money on lotto tickets and gambling. We moved to Texas so he could get a refinery job which didn't pan out and he took up with day laborers until he got a job managing a fast food joint. Then He put himself through college by working nights. You do what you have to do, quitting is for losers like this guy.
