   Well from my point of view, for the person I had initially directed the   
   remarks to, I do take exception to him criticizing another tax paying   
   participant for having run a newspaper that didnt have the editorial slant he   
   liked.   
      
   Someone living off of the taxpayers, and SSI is from the general fund, ie   
   welfare, he should not be deeming someone who is a taxpayer a failure.   
      
   Too me, it is about having room to talk.
