And you just can't run away from dysfunctional patterns. When I moved, my wife and I were doing rather well. In fact, THAT was why we COULD move.

The POOR, on the other hand, think voting is someone else's job. They vote less than anyone else on the planet. So when you TRY to save their programs, you never plan that they will be there helping. A LIBERAL is someone who finds that "understandable" and excuses it.

Jim, I am in quite good condition and although I am quite a free spirited individual thinker, I have no dysfunctional patterns! The majority of my friends and neighbors do not fit into your sterotype either.
I live in Phillips because I choose to do so, not because I am trapped here! While we do have our problems, we are also changing conditions for the better on a daily basis.
I am not in the business of throwing brickbats Jim, but I have noticed that many of your posts seem to make many generalizations about what you consider to be "poor people."
Their are good and bad behaviors in all classes of individuals. Unsociable behaviors can be found in Kenwood as well as what you term the "poorer neighborhoods."
People try and survive the best that they can. Perhaps the challenges are more difficult when there is less income to assist ones journey, but the majority of people are caring, hardworking individuals.
There is a small percentage of people that have criminal or antisocial behaviors. Unfortunately, these people make it difficult for the rest of us, but they are not in the majority. And they certainly do not all live in poor neighborhoods!
