It's not that your ideas are wrong, Thorne, so completely and utterly wrong, that I find so exasperating, but the reasonableness that you express them with.

It is complete twaddle to suggest that the actions of a few foolish people who could improve their situation by a simple expedient act prove that truly impoverished people are stupid.

(And I've never met a poor farmer, just like I've never met one who said he wasn't poor!)
