Andrea -

Thanks for the book tip - it's always to get good reads from other folks.

George -

The idea is food for thought.  It'd be easier for me to have a voice
discussion than through this keyboard.  I believe my contact info is listed
below.  I have found Payne's information on poverty (as an economic class)
to be helpful for me.  I found it enlightening and not stereotyping.  I have
also read some of the 'anti-Payne'  writings.  It is fascinating how people
can perceive things so differently.
