We have a sense of entitlement that they don't have.
One in eight of us on food stamps now. Those just magically convert to food... 'til they don't. But hey, they're still good for cigarette 'n beer money at 50 cents on the dollar... 'til they aren't.
I fear civility is a pretty thin veneer on most people.

I'm less frightened by the folks on food stamps than by the folks on plastic at Nordstrom's. But I do see people trying to rise to the issues at hand all around me. They just are not getting alot of political support.
