RE: The Perfect Gift

[Aaron Edwards <edwardsaaron2000@yahoo.com>]

I want to approach this with as much tenderness as I
can, but getting a new job is nto necisarily an
option. For instance in my state, ORegon, we have the
highest unemployment rate in the country. I have been
stuck at a job that I hate, because there are not any
other options (and believe me, I have been trying to
find another job). The jobs are just not out there
right now. And I will admit that I am a different case
altogether, becasue I could not take a job at
Starbucks or wherever, for I cannot take a job that I
have to stand all the time.
I am glad that this system works for you, but just
because it works for one person, does not mean that it
will work for everyone. Some say the economy is
rebounding (though I've seen little, if any proof of
this). However, in the current state, many people have
to cling to what they got, even if they hate it, for
if they do not, they will be out on the streets.
Anyway, like I said, I mean no disrespect for you, I
just wanted to explain things from a different point
of veiw.

As far as health care, well I'll keep my veiws of
universal health care under my hat for now. (but I
will that the poor have just as much right to ddecent
medical care as the rich, after all, we all have the
right to live. Don't we?

Ok, I am done reanting and raving. It's finals, what
can I say.
