billyjobobb-that's a comment better saved for your 'feelings circle' tonight down at the coffeehouse....what you call venon and negativity is what we call reality. Sorry life and making a living sometimes is hard. Funny, I feel bad for you-how ironic. Time to grow up Peter Pan.

A ceramic cup maker!!!! OMG! Just what Portland needs another one. What's most offensive about this is that she and her associates are competing with the true working poor and those in need for a finite amount of benefits-have they ever thought about that? While they are collecting services(between snorkling trips to Honduras and massages) they mock the very people that unemployment and other services are there for.

How charming that we can host this group of irresponsible, broke, ragamuffins. Unfortunately this super cool band of creatives that flock here will drive this city's economy into the ground and become a general nuisance. Wondering why we compete with Detroit for one of the highest unemployment rates. Time to move on young people, there will be nothing for you to do here for years to come. For the time being, they can subsist off dumpster diving and bartering but eventially they will require services that we pay for. Yeah, hip, wierd, kickin...Portland's great man. Dysfunctional with a capital 'D' more like....
