My ancestors. Some worked low-paying factory jobs to provide for their children. Some gave up what little they had to move to this country and try for a better life. Some were used as cannon fodder in pointless wars. Some had to flee their homes in the face of advancing armies. Some had to leave their homelands because they followed the wrong religion or spoke the wrong language. Some were bound to their lords' land and used as slave labor with no hope of changing their condition. Compared to what they endured, the shit I have to deal with is nothing.
