there's gotta be a way

someone left a very well thought-out comment concerning the previous post. i love well thought-out comments. they're rather rare, so i wanna take the time to respond.

stupidity... ignorance... being in imbecile... sure, i've heard them all before. shrugged them off, actually, because not one person has ever bothered to mention them in the same breath as a smart comment, until now.

anyway. i did see the potential of my opinions garnering heel heat - especially discriminating "underprivileged" people like that.

in fact, i agree with what you have said - that is, that it is mostly the government's fault for this massive mob that gathered for a chance of hitting it big. that the government did nothing to alleviate poverty. yes, i agree. i might not have implied it in my previous post, but that side has come to my attention ever since and i agree with it.

but - yes, there is a but - they were led on by, i don't know, 50-70% false hope, and killed by the misconduct caused by the same false hope.

i understand that they are not just the ones to blame, but most people have so much sympathy for them to overlook the idea of blaming them, at least just to a lesser extent.

good evening.
