Okay, I've met a number of those people as well, and I don't consider them to be merely "poor people." The look and act like con men to me.

         And I would agree, Bill Cosby has a lot to offer.

         I worked for a guy one time who would hire winos off the street because he felt sorry for them, and they let him down every time, to a person. I actuallly felt sorry for my boss.

         But having said all of that, there's something wrong with American society when young, native born Americans can not hope to achieve what there father's were able to achieve because the world they live in is going backwards.
         At the same time, new immigrants see cutting onions in America as a brand new adventure. They are looking at the world through a whole different lens than the native born twenty-something.

         I submit, this is a problem that really needs looking into.
