A far as race, I'll admit, maybe I did read more into what Kevin was saying than there really was...I'll take the slap for that.

Please go back and read what I wrote, and then you tell me.

Bingo! See...I knew you could be taught!

Ok, what I think would "help" the situation is if people understood that having a job isnt as simple as wanting one (as studies show, since there are more people out of work than there are jobs) and that removing unemployment will do more harm than good.
