]]> Comment on Dateline Episode on Poverty in the U.S. by Ben http://www.benrapin.com/blog/2010/07/27/dateline-episode-on-poverty-in-the-u-s/comment-page-1/#comment-7459 Ben Wed, 28 Jul 2010 12:31:34 +0000 http://www.benrapin.com/blog/?p=362#comment-7459 Thanks...for reading and commenting. I've visited the area several times while attending events at Ohio University and never picked up on any of this, which is what made it so surprising to me. I agree, the comments on the dateline site did take it to the extreme, but the people who handled it tactfully seemed to just question some of the things shown. And, to some extent, I'm sure the producers of the show carefully selected what they showed and didn't show to get this exact rise out of people. Thanks…for reading and commenting.

To indulge yourself in a cigarette when you've got hopeless prospects, I wouldn't call that a luxury. It's probably what helps keep her going. I just think all the judgmental bullshit suggests that a lot of the critical commenters don't have any friends or family members who are messed up. That said, I thought your comments were thoughtful. I'm mainly talking about the ones on Dateline.

Seeing that it looks like a giant can, you should paint it to look like a can of your favorite frosty beverage (just a suggestion).
