I know from my own observation that is one great country. There are schools in America where 90 per cent of the students qualify for free or reduced priced lunches, but the over half of those students have cell phones. What a country.

You're right. Somehow even those in the depths of poverty manage to have their cellphone.

You couldn't say anything more true.

And the lunches are $1.20 here in So CA. You have to fill out a passel of forms to qualify for a free lunch, supposedly, but our last name (English but sounds "ethnic" like Spanish or Asian) seemed to get our son an automatic free lunch pass. We refused it and reported it, but how many people don't? For each "free lunch" kid, the school and district get more $. So how could they pass up a name like ours?
