    Yeah, it’s Cracked.com, but humor me and give these two a read. I think on these quite a bit, even after many years.

    Explains much as to how we humans act towards one another:

      The guy who wrote those is very insightful. I also like his writing style. Thanks for sharing!

      Huh, these are really good! I admit I definitely didn’t see people born into rural poverty the same way I saw people born into urban poverty. That gives me a lot to think about!

        Like 75% of my basic training division was either inner city poverty escapism or rural poverty escapism.

        Ironically that became the uniting force of those people, something they could understand when everything else about the person is different.

      It’s too bad they laid off all their good writers about five years ago. At least we got Behind the Bastards out of it!

      People support Trump because he’s the only president in their lives to actually represent their interests
