      <description>&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT size="2"&gt;In my email today its very well said and &amp;nbsp;correct, even if its not written by a 21 year old female its still correct and even if its one of these email letters doing the rounds its still CORRECT and well said.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT size="2"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT size="2"&gt;------&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT size="2"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT size="2"&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;This was written by a 21 yr old female who gets it. It's her future she’s worried about and this is how she feels about the social welfare system that she’s being forced to live in! These solutions are just common sense in her opinion.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT size="2"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT size="2"&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;The problems we face toda&lt;/STRONG&gt;y are there because the people who work for a living are outnumbered&lt;STRONG&gt; by those who vote for a living"&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT size="2"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN style="font-size: small; line-height: normal;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;Put me in charge of Centrelink payments. I'd get rid of cash payments and provide vouchers for 50kg bags of rice and beans, blocks of cheese, basic sanitary items and all the powdered milk you can use.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN style="font-size: small; line-height: normal;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT size="2"&gt;&amp;nbsp;If you want steak, burgers, &lt;STRONG&gt;takeaway and junk food, then get a job.&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT size="2"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT size="2"&gt;&amp;nbsp;Put me in charge of Medicare. The first thing I'd do is to get women to have birth control implants.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN style="line-height: normal; font-size: small;"&gt;Then, we'll test recipients for drugs, alcohol, and nicotine. &lt;STRONG&gt;If you want to reproduce, use drugs, drink alcohol or smoke, then get a job.&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT size="2"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT size="2"&gt;Put me in charge of government housing. Ever live in military barracks?&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT size="2"&gt;You will maintain our property in a&lt;STRONG&gt; clean and good state of repair.&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT size="2"&gt;Your "home" will be subject to inspections anytime and possessions will be inventoried.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT size="2"&gt;If you want a plasma TV or Xbox 360,&lt;STRONG&gt; then get a job&lt;/STRONG&gt; and your own place.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT size="2"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT size="2"&gt;&amp;nbsp;Put me in charge of compulsory job search. You will either search for employment each week no matter what the job or you will report for community work.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT size="2"&gt;&amp;nbsp;This may be clearing the roadways and open spaces of rubbish, painting and repairing public housing, whatever we find for you.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT size="2"&gt;&amp;nbsp;We will sell your 22 inch rims and low profile tires and your dooff dooff stereo and speakers and put that money toward the “common good..”&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT size="2"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT size="2"&gt;Before you write that I've violated someone's rights, realise that all of the above is voluntary.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT size="2"&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;&amp;nbsp;If you want our hard earned cash and housing assistance, accept our rules.&lt;/STRONG&gt;.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT size="2"&gt;&amp;nbsp;Before you say that this would be "demeaning" and ruin someones "self esteem," consider t&lt;STRONG&gt;hat it wasn't that long ago that taking someone else's money for doing absolutely nothing was demeaning and lowered self esteem.&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT size="2"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT size="2"&gt;&amp;nbsp;If we are expected to pay for other people's mistakes we should at least attempt to make them learn from their bad choices.&lt;STRONG&gt; The current system rewards those for continuing to make bad choices.&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT size="2"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT size="2"&gt;&amp;nbsp;And while you are on Centrelink &lt;STRONG&gt;income you no longer have the right to VOTE!&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT size="2"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT size="2"&gt;&amp;nbsp;For you to vote would be a conflict of interest.....&lt;STRONG&gt; If you want to vote, then get a job.&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;I don't think it is correct, as it is a minority who are represented in that overview.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face="arial black,avant garde" size="4"&gt;The significant problems we face today cannot be solved&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face="arial black,avant garde" size="4"&gt;at the same level of thinking we were at when we created them.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face="arial black,avant garde" size="4"&gt;&lt;FONT size="2"&gt;Albert Einstein&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;</description>
