People like me?

I read Znet and magazine too so save your condscending references for someone who deserves them. I was just being honest. I hadn't doubted your sincerity in this longish title until your last little diatribe I seemed to have inspired by my confession.

I don't have a car or license, no house, no insurance of any sort, high school and self-educated, minority, - I don't consider these to be badges of honor, just my reality. You seem to be assuming higher ground for your CHOICES as an artist. That word CHOICE would seem to be key here but maybe I'm not looking at it in enough of a fringey, artistic sense, eh? I do not to aspire to the middle class lifestyle nor do I balk at the idea of better food for my kids each week. I live in a low-income community. I do my part in this community and respect each person among whom I live. I also actively participate in Refuse and Resist, protest regularly, write profusely (if not well), etc, etc...

I do live passively with regard to politics or give in to anyone. I work and think and strategize and read and gather and participate.

"Which I suppose is one of the reasons why staring into my babies' faces never unnerved me enough to bargain with the Republicrat devils."

Well, I look at mine and I worry about the pain and suffering my actions may cause them and want to protect them as best I can. I want that smug, dangerous, embarrasing moron out of there by any means necessary. So my children might one day be able to choose to be artists living on the fringe of society like you dearie.
