Cam,
I had a rebuttal to some of what you've stated here written, but I deleted it because I think the unfortunate truth is that you're right. There is no place in this world for those of us who cannot live productively. As you said, we must learn to live productively, because if we can't, we're not going to make it very far, especially if we don't have money and/or a support system. We know what happens to many of those who are unable to live productively due to mental impairments in the 21st century. They end up in jails, on the streets, or dead. And to think that in parts of the 20th century, those who couldn't live productively due to mental conditions ended up in institutions. But never mind what was. What's most important to us is what is and what will be. What will become of us who, despite our best efforts, fail in our pursuits of living productively? Well, before too long (and long before what would be considered "our time"), we will probably fail to live at all. At least in this existence. The message is clear that there is no place for us in this world.
