...people?' I mean, you like some of that stuff, right?" As I waxed socio-economical on how the authors were trying to make a statement about classism and yuppies and liberal mind-traps (#62: Knowing what's best for poor people. "They feel guilty and sad that poor people shop at Wal-Mart instead of Whole Foods, that they vote Republican instead of Democratic... deep down, white people believe if given money and education that all poor people would be EXACTLY like them"), I thought, "Oh crap, she's right.
