Bee stings is a bad analogy. It's more like trying to retain and adapt human dignity among exponentially more inefficient human processes. I agree with this article only insofar as multiple bee stings are exponentially more painful. But I disagree with it insofar as bee stings represent 'pain' instead of logistical nightmares and high risk situations, which is what poverty, the further down you go, increasingly involves. I also disagree strongly that poverty leads to irrationality. That is a very dangerous and arrogant line of thinking -- and obviously reflects a lack of understanding with the rational choices poor people face.
