Really? You took a comment about people who lived next door to DC, where he lamented that they had no interest in visiting any of the cultural attractions available despite for them it being easy to do so, and decided to make that into a personal insult about poor families in Texas? That made you cry?
- Inconel 10y agoYes, really. Taken in the broader context and tone of the article and the memories it brought back of my own childhood, I found it dismissive of the struggles many poor people face that might prevent them from partaking in such trips and being exposed to different cultures, particularly as children who have little say in the matter, even if in that particularly case it might have been easy for the author's relatives to do so. Regarding my being moved to tears, I offer you my sincere apology, I'll certainly try and "man" up to keep my emotions from bothering you.
