I wonder if I'm alone in this...
I would like the opinion of anyone who reads this... And would take the time to comment of course...

and I am a poor, foodstamp-livin person. and how i got to this point in life was nothing more than bad luck. i lived in poverty before (400 a month for a family of 5), went to college and became a paramedic. got hurt really bad and that's all she wrote.
so now, after pulling ourselves out of that hole, we're sinking back in. and yes, i have internet. i have satellite too. all remnants of a life i don't lead anymore but am desperately clinging to. beyond that, all the trappings of my life making 31K a year are gone. and i suppose, when i stop getting disability checks in 5 weeks, those too will disappear.
but i am going back to school. and that's where i differ from a lot of people. because while they are satisfied with their lot in life, i am not. i want more. i want my own house. I want nice cars. i want to look at my bank account and smile, not have panic attacks.
and i will have all that one day.
they will not.
and i think there are a good group of people in all that who just got caught up in a storm and they will get jobs and rebuild their lives. then there are those who want it rebuilded for them. and sorry to say, but i think a good majority of the poor people are going to be that way.
the ones at the foodstamp office who walk out with 500 in foodtsamps a month and climb into their Lexus or their Escalade. While i get my 135 and climb into my 91 Escort with no a/c in Texas heat. It chaps my ass, it really does.
And funny thing is, I actually filed a complaint of discrimination one time at my office. I am Cherokee, my husband is white and our kids are halfnhalf. and they said that i wasn't being discriminated against, because i am not black or Hispanic.
apparently only they can say they're being discriminated against. And i said no, i'm being discriminated against because ia m NOT black/hispanic. And i won my argument, but it was a futile gesture.
i'm ranting now, so i'll end it here.

The people I spoke of have no goals. They are useless and should die, swiftly.
