My grandfather used to say “We’re poor, but we’re proud,” to my mother and my aunts and uncle. That was 50 years ago. Everyone in the family has moved on from poverty since then, except those of us who went into teaching and blogging.
Today, there’s still plenty of poverty to go around, but not much of Grandpa’s spunk. How can we instill real pride, rather than bluster and bravado, in our citizenry, no matter what, or perhaps in spite of our econonic condition? Let your theories be known on this or anything else on today’s open line.
