Years ago there used to be a deaf man who went from one MacDonald's to the next showing a card and selling tiny pencils. Well since I know sign language I stopped him a couple of times and asked if he knew sign language and he would respond Yes. So I would ask him why is he begging. You never saw a man run so fast out of the restaurant towards his big car with 2 girls sitting in it waiting for him. It was a con.
Lady Lee, I remember that guy! He used to give you a card with the sign language alphabet on it when you gave him money. Before I got my current job, I was somewhat ignorant of how well the province takes care of the disabled. Now, I see everything. They're not rich, but they have their needs taken care of - with exception of those who are under Federal care. Those people get LOTS of money. Most of their houses I go to have large-screen plasma TVs and vehicles to drive around in. But they still drink booze like fish, live like slobs, and don't have jobs. They make more money than I do solely because of their race.
