Seriously, Leah finally told one of her room mates what she (Leah) thought of her vitriolic crap and told her to remove her name from her Jesus list. If I can find one of the emails, I'll send it to you.

Now, if your response goes to the local rag, that might get some readership. I wrote a piece for the Reno paper on "No child left behind" when I found out the Latino kids in the local high school were not included in the count. They only made up 25% of the student population. The school district responded and the more they tried to "explain" their way out of the fuck up, the deeper the hole they dug for themselves. It was quite lovely.

I believe we cannot just let these kinds of things slide by. I live in an area where many believe everyone thinks exactly as they do, and silence is too often construed as agreement. I think it is possible to respond in a civil, non-partisan way that can perhaps be heard. I hope that is what I have done here.

>> Dear Elliott,
>>
>> This little story is indicative of some very old but still prevalent stereotypes of people who live in poverty. Here are some facts about the more than 46 million Americans who currently live below the federal poverty guidelines. You can look up the exact statistics if you care to, but here's the gist. Nearly 50% of those currently living in poverty go to work everyday at full-time, albeit minimum wage, jobs and many of those have more than one job. Because of the time spent at work in order to keep food on the family table they have no time to pursue the further training and education that would allow them to move up.
>>
>> By far the majority of those living in poverty who are not employed are the very old, the very young and the chronically ill. This leaves almost no one who fits the old, time-worn stereotype of welfare queens, skid row bums, people gaming the system, etc.
>>
>> Now I'll get a little preachy. (It's in my blood, you know.) In the New Testament the hero was frequently asked questions like, "Who is my neighbor?" and "Am I my brother's (and sister's) keeper?" He answered by saying something like, "I was hungry and you gave me food, thirsty and you gave me drink, naked and you clothed me..." When asked when did they do that for him he said, "If you did it to the least of these you did it to me."
>>
>> The way we in our nation fulfill this responsibility to the "least of these," our brothers, sisters and neighbors, is through our government "of, by and for the people." That's the only way we can marshall the resources; the religious and private charitable establishments don't, and never will, have the money. We constantly walk a tight rope to assure that we don't cross the line from safety nets to making people more dependent. But we also have to watch that we don't throw the baby out with the bath. Growing numbers living in poverty and the growing chasm between the few who have much and the many who have little will eventually erode the fabric of our whole culture and civilization. At the end of the day, we're all in this together.
>>
>> Just wanted to give you my take on this because I admire you as a good man and a good friend, and to let you know that everyone in East Texas/Collin County doesn't think the same way, and that's a good thing.

>> Take care,

>> PS By the way, there are a lot of people in this nation "taking other people's money for doing absolutely nothing." It's called capital gains. (Written by a 73-year old man--me).
