In many cases I think poverty is self inflicted through misplaced priorities. It's amazing to me how many poor people have worn out sports cars with nice chrome wheels.

Damm right. My girlfriend teachers 8th grade science in one of these schools. Mostly illegal's and almost completely too poor to afford pencils, books etc. But not 60 inch plasma TV's, tricked out Chevvy Suburbans with 22 inch chrome monstrosites and nauseatingly loud stereo's. Not to mention the clothing these folks wear. But one thing they won't concern themselves with is any kind of intellectual accomplishment. Forget about excelling academically and getting out of their so called poverty. Just as long as they are "cool in the hood".
Poverty my ass!
