PINELLAS COUNTY, Fla. — Jim Marshall recalls everything about that beautiful fall day.
The temperature was about 70 degrees on Nov. 19, the sky was "totally blue," and the laughter from a martini bar drifted into the St. Petersburg park where Marshall, 39, sat contemplating his first day of homelessness.

It's the governments job to take care of every need the citizens have. Personal responsibility is dead. The work ethic is overrated. All we need is weed and Obama.

Reading the article lets you know that the main subject hasn't been a slouch.
Also, he was an autoworker in Detroit; that stimulus money may help to open up a new job for him. As to the final statement in the post, I wholeheartedly
agree that you've hit on the best prescription for the right wing: marijuana
