What is the difference between them and me? If environment is the determining factor, why have I accomplished what I have? The liberal line about lack of educational and job oppotunities is complete BULLSHIT. And I for one, am one conservative who is not just saying this from an ivory tower. I have walked the walk.
I haven't been following the thread, but if it's an argument against environment, read the last sentence of your first paragraph.
