     Some people are self supporting and drive cars to work because they   
   have a job, and having to slow to 5 mph when they are going to their   
   jobs to work kinda puts a crimp in their day.  Jobs and work things you   
   wouldn't know about.   
     Go get a job and see what it's like to be self supporting.  Contribute   
   some energy and resources into the system instead of taking it out.   
     Get a job.
