Kman,
I was just posting a reply with humorous intentions. Hence the smiley. I am working and have also recently decided to get my masters.
If you were serious, (sarcasm doesnt always translate well on the internet, as my earlier post proves) then I appreicate the concern
As I explained in my previous diatribe, I am ideologically opposed to welfare and Government handouts. I am by no means a democrat.
(I vote liberterian usually, which is nothing like the democratic pary. In fact, aside from social issues like gay marriages, drug laws,cicil liberties and foreign policy, it is closer to the republican party)
I was just taking a little shot at Bush, and Patriot.
It was just a joke...sorry for the misunderstanding.
