Being raised by a single mother who worked two jobs to support my brother and I...I have been around more poverty then you could ever begin to imagine, but the point is that I dont blame others for it, I dont expect anything for it. I dont spend my life feeling guilty for what others dont have or cant afford. Mommy and Daddy couldn't have afforded to put me through college and I don't deserve medal for making it on my own.

Lets remember we are NOT an impoverished country. This is not a third world country where food and jobs are scare. It is a matter of what people are willing to do to make their budgets, their households and there lives work. We live in a country that immigrants flock to, because they know that Americans wont take the jobs that aren't glamourous or that we feel are beneath us to do. They pay their bills and make it just fine, which is why guilt for someone who didn't plan ahead is a difficult feeling to conjure up. It is fine that you are anti Jennifer, just take comfort in the fact that you wont have to pay to keep me comfortable for the rest of my life…..
