Oh, yes -- I quite agree. When that TV show Six Feet Under aired, we had people knocking down the door to trying to get a job at the mortuary,,,,(okay, dark sick humour that some of you will get)

By no means AT ALL do I Beelieve that "replacing" professionals with volunteers is the answer (I know this first hand, because I have worked under that environment), as a lot of time, the professionals end up 'babysitting' the volunteers, thus, nothing is gained.

I am in the camp of Robert Reich, Paul Krugman & the Tennessee Valley Authority as far as economic recovery goes....and whilst I am handing out opines: gov't required image testing for the females is repugnant, but I digress. (I Beelieve that comment #2 is the only relevent comment on this post)

The body betrays and the weather conspires, hopefully, not on the same day.
