Well-spoken as always. I can see your point, however in the long-term perspective(think 1000 years) there will be no need for these jobs. Your examples show that people are willing to go to great lengths to adapt. My thought is that if these jobs disappeared, the country would go to great lengths to help. For now, the country doesn't help much because they don't have to. These jobs are not around. However, if these jobs were to disappear it would force the government's hand.(excuse the overused analogy). They would have to help these people and in turn improve their overall living conditions.

To Jane: I suspect that this will probably have to be yet another one of those things we have to agree to disagree. Agreed?
