You cant surf your way around a problem. Sure, everything that hurts us is someone elses fault...or is it? The average job in America last 10 months per individual. I feel one of the most protected places to work right now is the Military or work as a Tradesmen. I am building a house right now. I get paid crap in my job but... The HVAC, Electrician, Carpentar, Plumber and Drywall guys make loop! Go find work. Bang a nail and get dirty. Be your own boss. Complaining and fighting for something is just wasting your short life away. If you like the water then see a coast guard recruiter. And this should be a reminder to all of you that you need to have a back-up plan when you "DO" loose your job. Ask your self, "How will I make money, What will I loose and except it as a fact of when...not if?" Surfing will always be there. It will not mask your problems. Life has to be dealt with first. A wave is the cherry on top!

Start looking for an answer to your problem in the mirror. There are jobs out there, you may have to relocate, or do something beneath your standards for a while. Start a business(if you can afford and find your way around all the red tape) All I'm saying is that government is not the solution. It will fail you in the end, it always does!!! This is the problem with our current socialist leaning politicians and the hoards of people willing to believe in what they are selling. BTW, in my opinion the benifits that go along with military service are the least we should do for the folks that are willing to go into harms way to defend your freedom.

Joe the Plumber lives!

On another note; I have had a hard time walking across the beach the last couple of days without stepping on a sexy

I feel no pain for the individual touting his getting laid off so he can go surf travel for a month instead of looking for another job or getting his unemployment benefits squared away first. Take some personal responsibility - there are consequences to actions. On the other hand, unemployment insurance is earned -- just don't abuse it -- there are many people who really *need* it.

Is this directed towards me?
