dear assholes: the point of this thread is NOT to deny race, gender or other forms of privilege or to attack any other notions of of individualized identity. in fact i won't even come back to check on this thread. at all. i simply want to encourage people to talk about this, and i wonder where those who like to be really loud about other forms of 'privilege' will come down on (or totally ignore) this subject.
personally i grew up in a fairly middle class home. my parents were both college educated, and the houses were always mortgaged, but always houses never apartments; sometimes in the burbs, sometimes in the country, never in the city. then i ditched out on that and traveled for 10 years and spent most of that time in urban areas and/or super rural areas. now i live on a property owned by my parents by way of my grandfather in a rural area, i'm going to school and being employed on gov't dime (due to my age, good grades and utter lack of income/resources) and i kind of want to turn this place into a commune/venue/etc.
i realize a lot of peeps are out on the road because they have no where else to go. i also know - and this is not just me, but a lot of people i used to know, esp. the most 'political', the most likely to harp on sex/race issues - that a lot of peeps are on the road because of guilt and rebellion issues about their parents/upbringing....
