Which suggests that even being born into a certain station in life can be overcome. It's just the degree to which you are willing struggle to make it happen that will bring about that change. I know that sounds optimistic but know that I am not saying that you will get out of a negative situation just that taking an active role changes your perception of the event.

I really dont want to come across as insulting and I hope I am not. You may have a word that means class to you, and that means class in the context of your life - by all means. When I say clas. you DO NOT know what I mean, you DO NOT know what it feels like. There is no class in America. There is stratification, and wealth that is passed through family lines of course... there is some racism, some snobbishness, and all the rest of it... but the street that I grew up in; the working mans club my grandfather drank in, my father drank in, I drank in; the mothers we all had... these things are impossible in America.
