Some obvious stuff here, but good analysis of some of the mechanics of "poverty" in relation to western civ, which I'm sure won't be obvious to many in the matrix. One more thing, perhaps, for Christians to consider.<br /><br />http://opinionator.blogs.nytimes.com/2014/06/13/no-clocking-out/?_php=true&_type=blogs&emc=edit_th_20140615&nl=todaysheadlines&nlid=33619074&_r=0<br /><br /><br />No Money, No Time<br /><br />"THE absurdity of having had to ask for an extension to write this article isn’t lost on me: It is, after all, a piece on time and poverty, or, rather, time poverty — about what happens when we find ourselves working against the clock to finish something. In the case of someone who isn’t otherwise poor, poverty of time is an unpleasant inconvenience. But for someone whose lack of time is just one of many pressing concerns, the effects compound quickly."<br />Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04593195823514805943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9078157424531850345.post-89631891789557320802014-04-19T11:08:39.436-07:002014-04-19T11:08:39.436-07:00Hi Stan.

The physical isolation from the rest of the state helped this. I remember in high school, the COOL (read well-off) kids did their school clothes shopping in Eugene. not locally.<br /><br />I was raised with a distinct sense of who was on top, and where WE fit into the social order (the Scandinavian community there was jes' workin' folks, youbuckin' fetcha). It sucked then, and still sucks now, with what's left of the old money hanging on precariously for their lives.<br />Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04593195823514805943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9078157424531850345.post-19216833966672275952014-04-08T18:54:00.338-07:002014-04-08T18:54:00.338-07:00Absolutely incredible stuff, Stan.
