Gary, it's a good thing you and others are doing. I just prefer spending my time working toward getting legislation adopted to fix the problems. The issues are inadequate training, no required background checks, no minimum staffing level requirements, resulting in understaffing, use of narcotics excessively to minimize care requirements, physical and even sexual abuse and other inadequate care/management issues.

I think this is an example of the worst people can be...a real tragedy.

I play one job a week and donate the proceeds to the cause. Last year I contributed over $20,000 this way. Actually, I could do a lot more, since I have the client make the check out to the group, which makes the fee a qualified charity tax deduction.

That makes me feel good!

As we say here, "There are over 35,000 forgotten Kentuckians in abusive/dangerous situations", and hundreds of thousands across the country who desperately need our help. The situation is WORSE in other parts of the world.

That makes me feel very BAD!
