[QUOTE="Dave, post: 1005318, member: 498"] In the late 60's I worked on a neighbor's chicken farm/hatchery. There was a mid aged guy who worked there. Both him and his wife had IQ's in about the 60 range. They gave him a small house, paid his utilities, and enough to get by on. They really took care of him because he had nowhere else to go. He was strictly manual labor and not the best at that. At the age of 16 I was his boss at times because if you gave him a job pouring water out of a bucket he would have to be retrained about every other hour. Did they get his labor cheap? Yes. But he have a job, was as productive as he was capable of being, and I remember he sure was happy on pay day. Much better than today's welfare system. He felt proud of himself. Now back to Jo's subject of skeltons in the closet. [/QUOTE]
