Your argument that only the strong survives may boost your ego, but does nothing for those that don't, or cannot, for whatever reason. You may be a poster child why some can accomplish, but you imperiously close your eyes to those who cannot or have not!
Thats the difference between us Clete, I never forget where I come from, and you seek to erase your humble beginnings, and are no longer humble, but closed minded, and judgmental. You fail to acknowledge your roots, or understand how lucky you are to have succeeded. Thats why you look down your nose at others beneath you, and would fit in great with the racist, and the prejudiced here who justify there hate, and fears, and actions, by simply saying some that are not as lucky, don't deserve help, or OPPORTUNITY.
I love you, but you are a hard core right wing conservative!
