Segue,

How odd you thought of Myra Breckenridge when you saw John Breckenridge, because in actuality that was his true grandfather.

No kidding.

Ninety years of slavery followed by about a century of Civil Rights issues is awfully hard to top

90 years of slavery? You do know the colonists landed way before 1776, that just the year of Independence…

Slavery in the United States began soon after English colonists first settled in Virginia in 1607 and lasted as a legal institution until the passage of the Thirteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution in 1865. (Wikipedia)

I see I wasn’t the only one trying to sleep through history LOL

Okay, Lilith, as ill as I am today, this deserves a response.
I grew up in a low lower middle-class home. Made it to Uni, one seriously bad marriage and 3 small children. Took the 3 small children (4, 5 &6) and moved 400 miles away before even announcing my intentions of divorcing my husband.
I worked my ass off for the next 14 years, caring not only for my kids, but for two dying parents during that time as well, sometimes I worked fabulous jobs which put me in the heart of the Hollywood world, sometimes I had to work 3 jobs at the same time to make ends meet, but I always did.
Then, I got sick. I mean, really, really sick. The rest of my life on disability sick. Getting here, getting the government to believe me at the very beginning, was an ordeal. Intelligent, proactive persistence paid off. Plus, the government doctor who examined me and my MRI’s was, by a miracle, familiar with my extremely rare disease. He took it upon himself to okay me immediately, and allow me to forgo further testing and trips to offices to prove my case.
It does not matter where you start. What matters is what you do along the way, and where, and how you end your journey.
Being angry helps no one. In fact, it usually hinders one, because it takes your focus away from the task at hand. The task at hand should always be improving oneself. It sounds to me as if you want to do that, but it also sounds as if your anger may be hobbling you.
Try it without the anger. It took me a while to learn that lesson, I offer it to you for free.

shell:
leave it to the well-off to deny the existence of the poor or ‘less fortunate’ as you would say. i love how people automatically assume that we were all born into middle class homes with stable incomes and college degrees; like we decided to skip futhering our education beyond grade school or turn down that high paying job because we’re lazy and want to live off welfare and food stamps. while i admit there are many who take advantage of social services, there are much more of us that prefer to put in an honest day’s work for minimum wage. the funny thing is that when we lose our jobs to massive layoffs or some other bullshit reason, you won’t believe how hard it is for us to get food stamps or unemployment checks. and as for the fed taking care of me in my old age; if you’re gonna taken money out of every paycheck i earn and call it ’social security’ and say it’s for my retirement–it better effing be there for me when i’m 65.

Scientific, you’re truly as ignorant as the assholes on this list which is quite an accomplishment. i wish a could sympathize with someone as rich, arrogant, and out-of-touch with reality as you seem to be, but i’m too busy working my ass off for corporate dipshits that think they should pay me next to nothing and offer no affordable healthcare benefits because since i’m poor, it’s must be it’s own reward. everyone pays taxes and just because you’ve got more money doesn’t make you any better or any harder of a worker than anyone else. i guess those past 8 years of republican rule have made you believe otherwise. why don’t you and mccain go discuss how many houses yall have and why no one seems to trust old rich guys anymore.
