You like it b/c it's an example of social Darwinism at work -and you say hooray for social Darwinism. And the rest can presumably eat cake.

BTW, I'm curious how her life story reflects YOUR life story - yanno - what huge obstacles you overcame with luck and pluck to 'earn' your cushy lifestyle. You tell me yours, I'll tell you mine.

See, you have repeatedly posted that I as a generic 'liberal' (a 'liberal' I'm not BTW, but that's for another day), and as a specific poster am pissed off by her success, as indicated by my name calling. So, quote where I called her names and indicated I was pissed off by her success.

Also, still waiting for what you overcame in life to 'earn' your cushy circumstances.

Your distortion of reality is indeed fascinating.

Good.

There was a reason I put 'liberal' in single quotes, as a handy nametag for what you posted - but here you go - " ... it goes against the ' Julia' meme of so many on this board, who are convinced that only BIG GOVT can solve life's problems for us ..." generic liberal, by definition.

Hard work can pay off. But hard work doesn't always lead to wealth or success.

This is exactly what I was going to point out. The RapMoron has again brought up an example that shows the opposite of what he hopes it proves.

This girl has able to pull herself up because the government's education system gave her the opportunity to do so.

Homeless children in the US would fall into the very temporarily homeless group. Homeless children are a result of the fact that most Americans live pay check to pay check by choice. People earning 100 thousand dollars a year could be homeless in a month because they choose to buy the new BMW rather than save for a rainy day. The family unit as a first fall back for people in hard times has been destroyed by out of wedlock marriage and government dependency. The same people who cry about the homeless children are the biggest supporters or the lifestyle choices that cause it.
