I'm working as hard as I can earning credentials and learning new skills in order to get a "real job" in the hearing world and on the hearing world's terms because there's nothing fun about getting free money, it isn't easy, and there is no pride in it. There are tremendous restrictions placed on that money by the government because of people who don't care that they are living off of other people's taxes, and I'm convinced that's not the majority of recipients. I always talk about ponies, which I don't consider to be "bad stuff," and I never use vulgar words. I find them to be uncivilised and immature. I suspect that once I do get that elusive job out there, I will have a lot more control over my life, thereby making it significantly better. I have never been involved in any kind of scam. I'm a highly educated law-abiding mature adult doing the best I can to carry my own weight in this world, and unfortunately, I can't do that without somebody accepting my application and hiring me. I'm strongly convinced that the majority of people who accept government aid would much rather earn their own income if they only could. When I get my job, and I will, I won't forget what it was like to accept government aid, and I will never accuse its general recipients of being scam artists, lazy, dishonest, profane, etcetera, and I won't blame them for having no rich lifestyle from which to glean positive topics of conversation.
