Screw what anybody said: This is the truth.



I was shooting a fireworks show in DeLand, Florida. As part of my duties

as lead-shooter, I went to a supermarket to buy lunch for the crew. We

were short on crew, and I could have used more people.



So, when the young person (19-or-so) at the checkout noticed we were

wearing fireworks-emblazened shirts, I was asked about the job.



I said, "We do fireworks shows... the show tonight, at the airport. We

could use some help. Could you come?".



The response was, "I don't do dirty physical labor!" Oh... You'd avoid

doing ten hours of a $30 per hour job for a lousy four hours of a $10 per

hour job because you don't do "dirty"?



The reason we don't have enough laborers (skilled or otherwise) is

because today's youth figures it's 'beneath them' to do that sort of

work. They've been carefully taught that mantra.



That happens to be a "liberal" philosophy -- everyone is entitled to a

good income without "working". All you need be is a "citizen"

functioning in some sort of "make-work" activity (including NO work), and

it's guaranteed.



Life just doesn't work that (liberal) way.
