<Then and now. Poverty is a state of mind.>

This is a little absurd, Terrence. Poverty CAN be a state of mind--I don't disagree with that. But it is not ALWAYS simply a state of mind. It is really almost impossible for a badly nurtured, abysmally nourished, uneducated child with a lot of emotional scars to survive and prosper in a world where other children have all the advantages of wealth. It is not impossible, but it is very unlikely.
