I view the article Dickey cut and pasted above as propoganda. An arguement could perhaps be made that it is actually an op-ed piece. If it is weighed as an op-ed piece giving one man's informed opinion, it is a unidimensionally informed opinion. I am much more likely to thoughtfully consider another pov that is multidimensionally informed, especially when the subject is an extremely multidimensional issue such as poverty.
