I have no desire to sock the poor but educate them and put them on equal grounds intellectually. Where I live the poor are more than equal. They have more opportunity than most. Free education, free food, free money. It is almost like they take it for granted or expect it to be given to them. This might sound harsh but it is just what I have observed. The middle class are the ones that seem to get the crap end of the stick. Ron Dior

You can't really think I didn't read what you wrote since I'm the only one who does and I'm the only one who understands it. I understand what you mean and how you mean it better than you do. No where did I state that poverty should be forced upon wealth to level the field and nowhere did I imply that you were. i stated the publics view had nothing to do with true vision and growth, but the public sentiment which frequently mushrooms from emotion and not logic is flawed. Well, it is a matter of perspective, but I don't agree with this claim and I believe your assessment actually is at the root of the problem. You can't see the prejudice you wield. The public may wander all over elysian fields of illogical behavior, but this is the discovery mechanism for the better way. That sentiment isn't flawed. The market has clearly stated the result that comes from this method of approach in the last balloon. So what would you say if the NAZ went right back up to old highs? The balloon is on again? Oh, I get it, it can't do that. You and the experts have stated what the market can't do. It can't go back up. There are too many poor people and debt is too high to let it. I have no desire to sock the poor but educate them and put them on equal grounds intellectually This was precisely the intent behind affirmative action. It was a contradiction in its own terms. You can't educate anyone. They have to educate themselves. You can only offer the opportunity for education. If kids reject that opportunity and end up creating the ghetto, what did you do wrong? How many times have you seen kids reject the opportunity for no apparent reason? The problem is that their parents didn't raise them right. So who will you then blame and what is the solution? Forced busing of parents to child raising camps?
