I get your point, Al, and have to agree that it sounds pretentious to commisserate with the bums. I've done it myslef for pretentious reasons, but gotten real value out of it here and there. In general I am very very cautious around people who "have nothing to lose"...
That said -- you do sound a little wrapped tight on the subject. I hope this bum thing is just a pet peeve, and not highlighting your mood of late. Even *I* am not that angry ;) Here's somethin' to cheer you up from odd todd -- one of the victims of the whole dot com implosion who explores unemployment: http://www.oddtodd.com/index2.html (requires sound) I can't help but pronounce mon-ay and coffay like him occasionally...

Don't you find it annoying when someone claims that they have had some special relationship with X people, who are in fact the most wonderful people on Earth, but sadly misunderstood by the cretinous masses? This same guy would pull out the same story if you were talking about Lepers, Child Molesters, Serial Killers, Terrorists, dog-catchers, amputee porn stars, dwarf-tossers, etc. ------------------------ Yahoo!
