My, you are working yourself into quite a passion over this, aren’t you? All caps, accusations that the writer is lying, misquoting some very simple words from me...

I did not write, as you maintain, that ‘people don’t think like you do’. I wrote, “perhaps not everybody thinks just like you do.” (I just cut and pasted those phrases to insure accuracy.) And of course, people don’t all think and react in just the same way. You can’t seriously believe that everyone in the world thinks the same way you do. I certainly do not.

If you read what she wrote, she had a middle-class upbringing. She was not raised in poverty. Neither was I. Of course, when hard times came our perceptions and reactions were different from yours.

It might be helpful if you were to ask yourself just what you are so angry about.

I suspect she’s angry about boutique homeless trust-fundies slumming for a week and then regaling their peers back on campus with tales of poverty derring-do and exquisitely heightened empathy.
