POPSSocioeconomic Class More Recognized in U.S. My little brother, who works for a plastics factory, was one of the first to lose his home in the mortgage crisis. I could not believe it when Alan Greenspan said he didn't see it coming. I think the wealthy who lead our country need to make a few friends in the lower classes to better keep their pulse on the other American economy.

POPSNeo Cons Warp the Meaning of Academic Freedom I was harassed by a neo-con student when I was a professor. She kept changing the subject from actual class material. The first day she talked about prayer in school (not a topic covered in this course), when I was trying to just go over the syllabus. Most frustrating, she had zero critical thinking skills, dominated the class, and angered the other students.

POPSREFLECTIONS ON WORKING POOR, MIDDLECLASS AND AOHELL'S BLOG
I like blogs. They are like editorials from the ordinary, statements from the common person who work, pay bills, and pay taxes on her/his compensational wages. With this money she/he goes out, at the end of her/his hard workday, buys the things she/he needs and pays taxes again. What does she/he get in return for all her/his labors and double taxation. She/He gets the chance to get up the next day and do it all again. That's what it seems anyway, for the ordinary American middleclass person who is constantly climbing a greased pole trying to stay out of the ranks of the poor dangling below her/his suspension on this Achilles' heel of a pole. It has too fast become an inescapable failure for most to stay economically afloat. Two salaries per household and still they can't pass muster and avoid the catch-phrase "working poor".
