Damn serious. I'm not one to give pity to a person who is a victim of their own lack of discipline and motivation. I will however offer a kick in the @55 to anyone who would like to acquire either of the above qualities, quick, fast, and in a hurry.

Ok, allow me to follow your logic. Those folks who worked in factories, my father's generation, sometimes called "America's Greatest Generation". The ones who fought in WWII, worked in factories, and brought their kids up to believe that working for a living is honorable. They are a bunch of losers right? They lack what it takes?
Just want to be sure I have the concepts straight.

Did they work in the factory barely able to provide or pay for transportation to work and complained about it.

You don't have to be rich to be successful, if you're not happy with your income or your job then do something about it. This article was written from the perspective that we should listen to this "common man" because he was a "victim" of circumstances in a "dead end job" and that President Bush should do something to help him instead of spending money on the Nat. Endow. for the Arts.

I don't appreciate victimology for pity.
