| 65. ...end the cycle of poverty, crime, and ignorance? |
|
You are talking my language there. I'm in college right now to put an end to my own ignorance eventually. By doing so, I can possibly "end the cycle" of poverty in my family. I see nothing wrong that that.
I still don't understand why it is considered some elite stance to want to alleviate ignorance. I'm a poor currently being educated southern girl who despises the redneck "taking pride in ignorance" culture just as much as the OP. Certainly, no one can call me an elitist.
