We must eliminate Chavez.

I'm not saying you didn't have a hard time. It would be great if it had taught you something besides how to look down on people.

I'm saying you did not go through Bankruptcy. It wasn't your credit. It wasn't your money. The choices weren't yours. You owned none of the property. You had none of the responsabilities. And you have no idea at all how you'd handle similar circumstances and you don't even know yet that having a theory about how you'll do things and how you end up doing them aren't always the same.

I have no idea what your parents did and if they're selfish fools, poor suckers or perfectly good people who tried really hard to have things work out some other way. I'll tell you what I do know. All the choices and all the responsability all the way along the line were theirs, just like every bite of food that goes into your mouth and your internet connection. You go to public school? The state gave you that. Get your amazing smarts from library books? The state gave you that. You don't have a single thing that wasn't given to you by the state or your parents. Is there anything wrong with that? No. You're just a kid. But I wouldn't be so down on exprience if I were you. The day is coming when you might actually have to have some.
