>That's funny! The son (her friend) got a job where she works and quit the first night when he realized it was hard work. He actually used a phrase along the lines of "I'm not somebody's you know what." I substituted the 'you know what.' She learned the hard way (like we all do) that sometimes you don't respect your friends. She said he was lazy at school as well. I had to explain all the places her taxes go that really are worthwhile (like roads, and schools, and medicare for her grandma). Her response was that she doesn't mind paying for medical coverage for senior citizens who worked their entire lives or food and clothing for those who are mentally or physically unable to work but she wasn't giving her hard earned money to (the boy who was lazy). After that she wanted to know how much I had paid in taxes over my lifetime :o)

Gee you left the military and fire/police off? Yeah, life is funny. You think you know it all when you're 16. When you're 21 you start to doubt, and by the time you reach 30, you figure out that nobody has it figured out!
