Megan, while imagining herself to highly sophisticated and worldly, reduces every group of people outside of her immediate social circle to a caricature based on what she's seen in the movies or figured in her imagination. The irony hurts!<BR/><BR/>This post was stunning in its ignorance about food stamps, the people who use them and why.<BR/><BR/>How about this gem: "except for people who are too screwed up to get food stamps (because<BR/>they don't have an address), food insufficiency is not."<BR/><BR/>Food insufficiency is not WHAT, Megan? That's not even a bloody sentence!

That's Indian Country,she'd last about an hour. <BR/><BR/>The nearest grocery store of any merit is a SIX hour round trip. Which means the only food stores around are the ones attached to gas stations. I know folks who live there,it's THE poorest place in America(Pine Ridge and Rosebud reservations-Oglala Sioux),average income hovers around 10K a year for a family of 4. <BR/><BR/>I'd love to see Survivor:The Rez with Megan and a half dozen of her asshole pals starring.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2222630007427380394.post-50009583240027557142008-09-27T17:37:00.000-05:002008-09-27T17:37:00.000-05:00There are so many layers to peel away before you g...There are so many layers to peel away before you get to the rotten center--Megan's emotions/conscience are so dead that she doesn't care if anyone else lives or dies.Susan of Texashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00076915322771385454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2222630007427380394.post-29835410641236258992008-09-27T17:12:00.000-05:002008-09-27T17:12:00.000-05:00Her Catholicism may feed her GUILT about food. She...Her Catholicism may feed her GUILT about food. She makes food a moral issue: righteousness and purity demands eating as little as possible, and only the "proper" kind. Every time she eats anything at all, especially if it is something currently not "approved," she is teetering on the edge of eternal damnation. <BR/><BR/>Having an Issue like that makes her hate people who ignore her deeply held belief that Eating = Weakness and Food = Evil Temptation.<BR/><BR/>Gluttony is a sin, fatness is evidence of that sin, which certain people appear to be unashamed to show. That's a Threat to the Social Fabric. We should not -- cannot! --encourage the poor to wallow in sin, right out in public, where everyone can see. It might encourage others to indulge. Think of the children.<BR/><BR/>Or,<BR/><BR/>Shorter Out. Fucking. Rageous post: Let them eat Atkins!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
