I don't think any of us would really do it though.

For me, it would be a hard knock on my confidence. I have worked very hard and gone through alot of hard times to get where I am right now. It would basically be like starting over, only with no ladder to really climb up. Like I said, it would be a Job not a career, a career pergatory if you will.

But, I am able bodied and young. I would do it before I sucked off of unemployment if it came down to it. I have been there before about 6 years ago, and I did what I needed too, but I have never taken a cent of unemployment.

Somebody just back of you while you are fishing is as bad as someone looking over your shoulder while you write a letter to your girl. ~Ernest Hemingway

I doubt they'd hire me. In about a day I'd have that place serving handmade pastry and gourmet pizzas. The teenagers would be mint from all the profit sharing.

I could just see it, Spence. You'd be changing the tv in the Dunks to the Martha Stewart show and commenting about how the slip resistant shoes are not stylish enough and that you can't wear he cotton/poly blend polo shirts because you only wear the finest pima cotton.

On a serious note, I bet lots of us would do whatever it takes to support ourselves or our families, even if it means doing a job we otherwise would never consider doing. I put myself through college bussing tables and it wasn't all that bad a job.

Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio
