[quote:BluzGal:MV82ODA2ODRfMTAzODMxMDVfNTk5NDMzM0M=] [quote:Jackinthebox] Thanks for the input, but access to good education is certainly not the only problem facing poverty-stricken children today. The link I added above outlines a dangerous agenda being perpetrated aginst us all, but is most clearly visible in poor families. One must also consider these effects on children who were not necessarily born into poverty, but suddenly wound up there. I was one of those children, though poverty struck a bit later, in my teens. I am of high intelligence, born to a good family, and yet i am homeless now for the second time in my life. The ecperiences have been traumatic in ways that even I cannot fully explain. [/quote] Thanks for being so open, Jackinthebox... With high intelligence and presumably a middle-class upbringing, it makes me sad that you find yourself homeless again. I can only hope that you are receiving therapy of some kind to help you deal with this and get back on your feet. My first husband had an extremely abusive father and even with a college degree and high IQ has been in dire financial straits most of his life from psychological issues that he never dealt with. Hope you have the courage to consider improving your situation through therapy. Licensed Clinical Social Workers (LCSW) can be very effective and usually have sliding fee scales. :rant: :hf: Hugs to you! [/quote]

So tell me now that lifelong poverty is not induced through genuine physical handicap, or that it is the fault of the individual. Wake up to the realities of poverty now, or wake up to them standing on line at the soup kitchen.
