Wait, what? How did you come to the conclusion that many of us are dependent on some sort of safety net?
Simple statistics. I am not making a statement about the community of Project 1999 in general.

Safety nets include Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, food stamps, unemployment, social programs including rehab facilities, soup kitchens.

In general almost everyone (96%) of Americans (i realize I am not speaking for European countries) have received some form of government assistance in their lifetime:

(I realize this is in relevance to the stupid Romney '47%' thing).

I think there is nothing shameful in it at all.

And Tecmos, I have no desire to argue with you about anything. Not because it's you, I just don't really like forum debates. I find that people usually have made up their mind and tend to just prattle on at each other (See RnF).

I do enjoy your solo artist writeups, however.

Cheers,
