capability?? building capability??

people keep telling me I am capable, very capable, but I still have been on the dole for some twenty years (admittedly in Tasmania where ability is a curse) and they have been telling me that all that time...

build capability by all means, but me, i have my own problems

Anna's post ignores the main reason why such an 'ethically indefensible' policy is liked and used,

scared people like to hurt, just like what they have been hurt, by those scary people

especially the terrors they have never met

I wish I could write policy speak, I dunno if it would build me capable, but I sure as hell would at least sound employable
