I've been thinking a great deal about the way that our society conveniently demonizes those who are on the short end of the economic stick, through this omni-present and rather convenient judeo-christian judgementalism. It seems rather cruel and self-serving, as it justifies pervasive inequality and the bruatality doled out through our crimal justice system ... some folks face an enormous/unequal burden because of their powerless or exposure due to financial circumstances.

I'm starting another list of people vilified by this system:
-College dropouts (http://www.nytimes.com/2009/12/10/education/10graduate.html)
-Anyone convicted of a crime under weak evidence, that would have been cleared under better (more expensive) legal representation ... and vice versa for those trying to assert themselves through the courts.
-Anyone stopped by the police for something that they would ordinarily be able to do in private, but ended up doing in public because of lack of private transport, private living space, etc.
