Hmm.  Just a thought.  Maybe there is a solution within the crowd of the 
under/unemployed.  Just as Open Source is a collaboration of interested 
individuals and companies which produces impressive results, maybe the 
under/unemployed could join together, not to find jobs, but to /create/ 
jobs for each other.  Could this be done by working together to create 
business opportunities through product development, skills enhancement, 
support networks, etc.?  Could it hurt to think in terms of small 
business and collaborative employment?
