Luckily, my family is in that rich, white cluster...

I saw the CNN report from a year or so ago about the "class disparity". It was heavily biased and done only from the low class perspective. I'd like to see the story done from the upper class perspective, particularly highlighting the way the upper class earned that classification. Lots of hard working, farming families up here. Anyone could do it if they wanted to, black or white. Some people just don't want to work hard to earn an honest living.

I went to boarding school with a kid from there named Byron. He;d be in his late 40's. Nicest guy ever.
