[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can't think of anything that so loudly proclaims trailer trash like a tattoo. In Southern Md (think Waldorf), the percentage of those with "body art" (cough cough) is striking. [/quote] People who diss other people who live (or have lived) in trailers piss me off!! I was raised by a single mother with 5 children on welfare. We lived in an old, dilapidated trailer. We were fed tons of grilled cheese sandwiches on cheap white bread thanks to USDA's government-issued cheese program. My mother recently died a poor woman, not one of my siblings graduated from HS, all of us were labled special ed, 3 of my siblings have been incarcerated (one still is), and the 2 that work are paycheck-to-paycheck, at best. That said, nearly 1000 people attended my mother's funeral because she was an amazingly sweet human being (trailer trash?). My siblings are some of the most beautiful people you could ever meet - they would literally give you the shirt off their backs (trailer trash?). We were dealt a very tough hand early on, but we didn't get bitter at the world, or get down on ourselves. It hurts me deeply to hear this term, trailer trash, used toward anyone and to think that I am likely among people everyday that feel this way about another human spirit simply based on not where they live, but what they live in. Are we THAT broken?[/quote]
