Respect the staff in a Hospice that cleans the bed pans and deals with end-of-life problems.
.......Respect ALL the low-paid WORKERS that make America WORK and get little attention and barely survive in an economy where their protectors - the worker unions have been for all practical purposes PUT TO DEATH in today's economy. But Wall Street enTRAPanors seem to be THRIVING. And, will they be so cocky and self-assured when they get old and need their bed-pans changed by some lowly hospital WORKERS?

I'm not talking about
workers---
they do deserve respect. I'm talking about those who
choose not to work and instead live off the government teat (ie: the rest of us). This does not include the disabled who cannot work. However, I would never define alcoholism or drug addiction as a "disability"----I could certainly find something for them to do. It does , however, specifically refer to able bodied individuals who could work, but instead
choose to run scams, or deal drugs, or have 6 children by 6 different fathers then lay all day on the couch watching Oprah. Believe me, I can find work for them---they won't like it, but I'd find it.
