Do you think that working 50-60 hours a week shows lack of determination, forethought, and intelligence? Do you think that working 2-3 manual laboring jobs suggests laziness? Is it morally wrong to want things to be convenient, even when they go against your long-term interests?
Anyway, sounds like you're a pull-yourself-up-by-the-bootstraps type. If we expand this to the international level of poverty analysis, you'd strike me as being in the modernization camp. Chalk me up to being a world systems/dependency theorist, which I take as meaning we're fundamentally opposite in our viewpoints on the topic and therefore will not yield any ground in such a debate. So it goes.

Well said, and a lot more simpler than my rambles.
