Subject: RE: BS: The largest class society in the world
Actually Martin, my children have two rich daddies and a step-daddy. I have lots of boyfriends. Many I have known for 20-30 years.

Isn't the point of this discussion the caste system in America? Haven't you proved it exactly? Of course you think a caste system is perfectly O.K. Most nepotists do.

I would never suggest you "cut your children off." The point is that there are some that have parents that can afford to send them to school and for the others it is hard work at minimum wage, long hours of study and numerous financial hardships.

The strength of our nation lies in meaningful employment. As the chief pointed out: for some it means "joining the military" (it might mean risking your life), for some it means a huge debt load upon graduation, for others it means showing up for class. The alternatives are pretty grim.

Honestly Martin, do you really think people are perfectly content to pick fruit for the rest of their lives? Do you really think people are content with worrying about how to pay the rent and how to put groceries on the table? Are you afraid of poverty Martin? Do you think it might rub off? It isn't a disease, you know. Do you know what fair means, Martin? Impossible perhaps but worth striving for, I'd say.
