 Yes, and the world is black and white, and everything is divided up into
clean cut catagories, and only a few major ones at that</sarcasm>

 Sometimes people are mentaly disabled beyond the ability to work, at least
without a hepling hand, through no fault of their own. Do you think that 
*all* people who are mentaly disabled and need help to get back into the
"real world" just sit around forever? That's just not the way it is. 

 As for getting a job, I need to point out a couple things that you need to
consider. You don't just walk into an office, slap down an application,
and when a position is open, you just get the job right away. There are a lot
of socalizing, and other little crap that can make or break an interview.
The style of speech, body language, little physical details, hell even
the color of shirt you are wearing that day can determine whether you get
the job, or your application gets stuffed deep within a file cabinent
(or the trash), never to see the light of day again. People suffering from
mental illness often have problems with this little shit, and that's why
they often can't get a job. I really wish employers would put all of the 
social butterfly crap aside, and just process applications, and if the guy's
qualifications meet, hire him.
