That thing she said actually irritated me.  I know it might not necessarily be her fault for not knowing, but I can't shake off the emotion that there should be some degree of responsibility in knowing that there are a lot of people in the world that live in really bad conditions.  Take myself for example, I've lived in I guess what you can call a 'lower' middle class environment based on the general populace in Canadian cities or if compared to most U.S. cities, mid-middle class to upper-middle class.  However, I am completely aware of the slums of Vancouver, the decay of society around Chinatown and parts of Downtown Vancouver.  I don't see how anyone, even if they live in places like Terra Nova and Shaughnessy (high class, old money) can ignore or be ignorant of this fact. 

However, I am not saying that I do not believe you Scrow.  I am saying that I am irritated that there are people out there that just don't know, or choose to believe otherwise. 

Ah so off topic.
