No, Techno, this was a very, very bad point - and totally erroneous. In my
reply to Max I stated this was not about poverty (if you disagree with my
post, let me know why this is about poverty). I brought up an example
using white kids and black kids, and someone "read" poverty into this. This
in itself is somewhat telling, don't you think?
