This one is easy. It depends on the circumstances.

It's the greatest feeling in the world when it is preceded by landing a job. Didn't John McCain suspend his job search as part of some stunt in the '08 campaign?

Not exactly. Someone who is looking for work but has not attempted to contact an employer or a job placement agency in the past 4 weeks is considered a "discouraged worker" and is included in that number rather than the official unemployment rate.

What's the alternative? Paris Hilton? Subsitence farming? Food and healthcare and housing and all the goodies in the world that we all need don't just happen. They are the result of working people.

I also enjoy the off-color types that shirk the grind, but I don't see how you can avoid soul draining toils for very long without hereditary wealth lining your coffers. Insurance fraud perhaps.

What does Opebo do all day? Besides heap scorn on the evil capitalists who sell him things like food and clothing and living space through voluntary transactions?
