Thread Name: BS: Poverty in the USA
Subject: RE: BS: Poverty in the USA
And once again we are back to folks who make poor decisions... Yes, lots of poor people ***do*** make poor (bad) decisions but preaching to them isn't going to change much... This is what "client centered" social work is all about... Yeah, someone from a middle class back ground with a MSW certainly is more apt to make good decisions in a pinch but poor people don't have those backgrounds and experiences that provide them with the larger menu of choices that middle class people have...

Also, poor people tend to move more becuase of various financial factors and when it comes to mechanical systems from one pl;ace to another it can get comlpicated...

Lastly, since Dickey seems to wonder who rents what in the DC area as if when I tell him he'll leap down upon me from a tree I'll tell him... The folks who can... Pure and simple... I still don't get his point, if he even has one...

I'll be back later with just one more personal story to tell about life as a social worker...
