Re: Confessions
If his US experience in Louisiana...I totally get where you are coming from. But you need to remember, the US is not nearly as 'united' as the name would lead you to believe. Even in one state, the conditions can vary wildly. I grew up below the poverty line, but I didn't even realize it. There was never this dividing line between rich and poor that I know can happen in urban areas. That's just the stuff that makes the news. I lived in a house (my mom still lives in it), we had food and a car and I had clothes to wear. I didn't have expensive stuff, but it didn't really matter that much. Now, there was a dichotomy of trashy and classy, but that didn't depend on money, it just depended on the behavior of your parents.
