Too many people expect handouts from society

To the Editor,

Re: Attitudes are main issue, Oct. 20.

Randy O’Donnell hit the nail smack on the head.

Too many people today expect the easy road in life and unfortunately our governments cater to these thoughts.

There was a day when we had to work to earn things, but now everything is expected for gratis.

In my day there was no food bank, no free meals, no free housing and definitely no drug stations to shoot up in, also for free.

Our society has become lazy and unproductive, but a day of reckoning is coming, as we cannot afford to continue to support programs for people who don’t want to help themselves.

Another Great Depression is on the horizon and it won’t be pretty.
