    while some people abuse it, like anything else, i'm sure most would prefer the security of having a good job rather than benefits that could be taken away and need to be reapplied for every 3months
    don't compete; coexist

    what are you but my reflection? who am i to judge or strike you down?

    "I will promise you this, that if we have not gotten our troops out by the time I am president, it is the first thing I will do. I will get our troops home. We will bring an end to this war. You can take that to the bank." - Barack Obama

    when you told me 'if you can't beat 'em, join 'em'
    i was thinkin 'death before dishonor'

    You got that right. Even though most of the process takes place online, if there is one exception on your weekly request (after you've been approved) you're required to call and speak to someone personally. I can understand this requirement. The problem comes when you get to the phone and dial. Sometimes the lines are busy for 6 or 7 hours a day. That's not an exagerration. It's a mind numbing exercise in many ways. But, it's better than nothing at all. I for one was grateful for it and as I said, don't mind paying taxes so that others can utilize the system if and when they need it. :)
