Why...I love this post Daniel and agree completely.<br /><br />Why put any class of people down? And kids for gosh sakes!<br /><br />Some folks seem to want to be honorary members of the under class....by openly idealizing them, they feel like they are inoculating themselves against any accusation of being economic exploiters .<br /><br />Are they saying these kids don't have a right to be themselves or to have any conflicts or suffering just because people are starving in Africa and barrio folks are in bad shape? After all socially conscious people can travel to Europe and eat in good restaurants as long as they TALK about the poor.If they really believed in what they preach they could start tithing and giving a percentage of their incomes to the poor.The poor in their own families or in their own neighborhoods might be the best first start -That way they know for sure where the money goes and nobody has to know about it :)<br /><br />Starbucks revolutionaries? Please ! Most don't know the barrios at all at all.<br /><br />But hey, even if they DO spend their time really helping the poor, that is no reason to hate the rich.Either we "love" all people ( in theory) or we love nobody.<br /><br />By making fun of and deriding some middle class kids who express their angst, does that make us more democratic? I don't think so.I think it makes us less so....firepigette...ps Chavez did a great job of infecting many of the opposition folks with the same basic messagefirepighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15158275219887987252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4080946.post-90837022920179880722012-05-24T19:02:33.811+02:002012-05-24T19:02:33.811+02:00Fully agree with those kids and your analysis Dani...Fully agree with those kids and your analysis Daniel.
