   Good.  She can join thousands of people in the manufacturing sector   
   who have lost jobs in Ontario over the past 2 years.

   22 and 28?   
      
   What, I'm supposed to feel sorry for those two bums who are probably   
   still living at home playing video games and downloading internet   
   porn?   
      
   They're old enough to get a job.  Give me a break.  And where is dad?   
   Am I supposed to feel obligated to support this "mother" and her two   
   adult kids?  She's probably got a boyfriend who's the breadwinner   
   anyways.

   600 - 288 - 163 = `149   
      
   What are those other 149 people doing?  Why aren't they getting the   
   axe too?
