subject: Who said this?

RC>>> whom is leeching off of the taxpayers, are you saying that
 RC>>> Ross Sauer works for the Government?

 BK>>  So, now you claim all who are receiving assistance for being
 BK>>  handicapped are leeching off the taxpayers. That is the only
 BK>>  reasonable interpretation of what you said.

 RC> I have seen Walmart door greeters with far more handicaps
 RC> than any Sauer is purported to have.

 If you can find a walmart that will hire him, knowing he cannot
 drive, and may have to call in sick at anytime, or go home early
 at anytime, due to his condition, let him know. Otherwise, your
 line above is BS.

 I have known a fellow for some 30 years, who requires a
 wheelchair and has longer than I have known him. He is also
 physically quite small. He works for a cell phone company, in a
 senior technical position.

 Which doesn't matter as far as Ross is concerned, because my
 friend has a predictable and stable condition. He knows he can
 go to work every day, and do a full days work.

 RC> However like with the military service topic, where some
 RC> have no standing to talk, Sauer has no business degrading
 RC> what others do for a living considering the form of income
 RC> he has.

 As long as others attack him, he has the standing to return
 fire.

 RC> This is something he has done.

 As he should.

 RC> He should be thankful that a vast majority of the
 RC> population is working to contribute rather than a majority
 RC> of it being on the rolls.

 As should several others on this echo, and some who used to be
 in Fido. BFD.

 RC> I could care less what you do for a living because at the
 RC> end, you are supporting yourself, someone either unwilling
 RC> or unable to support themself whom is in turn living off of
 RC> public funding has no business talking down that which you
 RC> do for a living.

 Nor does anyone have any business attacking anyone else for
 their physical or mental condition. But they do, now don't they.
 So let the fireworks roll.

 RC> Again, you will disagree.

 Damn straight.

 Face it, your entire line is to justify the right wingers.
