Let's see now: Our house is nicer, new windows/paint, and our yard is bigger. AND both our vehicles are nicer than his regular truck.

So I guess I'll quit waving at him?

People...sheesh.
Uh, Nadme, either invite him over for the 4th, or ignore him.

Who the (deleted) gives a (deleted) about who has what whatevers?

People are people, people.

Are you really existing in the Indian claste system which existed thousdands of years ago?

Because if you are, I've got news for you.

It's dead.

Get with the program.

I learned that firsthand helping the homeless of Washington DC 28 years ago on street grates was the best thing that I could do, at the time, to begin change.

Better yet, let the "little folk" run with me for a month and their attitudes will be summarially changed.

Not by whoppers. Simply by common sense, someone believing in them, and a seonse of personal drive that most could recover. Some made it. Some didn't. The most difficult decisions in my life involved who made it and who did not at their expense but without jeapordizing someone who might not make it. I did this totally outside of official channels simply because there were no official channels to address these concerns that were available.
