For Shame

I too have recently commented on a Gawker, Inc. site...Gawker proper. And, as you'll see (on the second page...using the [ahem] alias, SarahGrace), I was met with some seriously chipped and cold shoulders. I have long found there to be an irrational double standard when it comes to discussions of class in this country. Less-wealthy folk can heap insults at the wealthier folk, who would never conceive of saying such silly, cruel, narrow things to/about them. It's cheap to call this sort of uninformed financial/cultural angst journalism.

also, and i'm trying hard to be reasonable here, you managed to insult poor people 5 times in a sentence where you point out that wealthy people would never conceive of doing so.

we just talked about this, but...for the record: when you're right you're right boo. i'm all sentiment and no sense.
