Lazy People

As a rare visitor to MySpace, when I log in I read up on what everyone else has been doing. I saw a link on Becky's page to a myspace page for a family whose baby has been shaken (by an unrelated caretaker) and is critically injured. That is very sad, and I went to the website to read an update. The website is also a plea for financial help as the parents are practically children, the mother is only 21 and the father roughly the same age. So I peruse and feel bad for them and then see one of those little internet quizzes the mother had filled out. I presume this was completed before her baby became ill. She wrote: "I don't understand...:Government Assistance... A bunch of BS! They only help the Lazy people."


If I were cruel, I'd comment on the irony here. But she is just 21. She'll soon learn if she has not already that while she, her husband, and their infant are likely not "lazy", they will soon be the beneficiaries of the same "government assistance" that she has scorned.
