With all due respect, you don't know me well enough to assume me to be a sensitive virgin. I grew up living on welfare in subsidized housing like everyone else, and anyway, not many sensitive folks would willingly put their "poems" on here to get insulted, or, for that matter, be willing to say something about someone's comment knowing that other people would be offended. As a social worker, I have an ethical mandate, on and off duty (but I'm on call 24-7 anyway, so that distinction doesn't matter), to confront oppression, even if it means getting messy and being thought naive. (And like most social workers, I have a tendency to be too serious.)
