Way to go, Dennis!

>I am always stunned when I hear middle-class and upper-middle-class

>disrupting family interactions, and skewering children's sense of control
>over their lives, Ms. Mamen should try talking to families living on low

>And avoiding having to use food banks and buying second-hand clothes, and
>not hearing the  judgments of professionals about their parenting skills

"I don't believe in charity.  I believe in solidarity.  Charity is so 
vertical.  It goes from the top to the bottom.  Solidarity is 
horizontal.  It respects the other person.  I have a lot to learn 
from other people."

- Eduardo Galeano
