[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Things I used to believe in/love/trust, and no longer do:

— The NYT (really any and all “elite” media - it’s sad) 
— That going to college should be everyone’s goal
— Recycling. I swallowed that personal responsibility bit hook-line-sinker, without real understanding of corporate and government responsibility for environmental health 
— Merit (hahaha)

Things I believe in now that I didn’t used to:

— Religion is interesting
— Birds and gardening are interesting 
— Rich and connected kids from functional families can actually achieve almost anything, even if they are unoriginal or painfully average

I don’t believe that about rich kids at all. Sure they will most likely figure out something to maintain their rich lifestyle, but money does not in fact buy high-level success (unless you consider inheriting a ton of money to be achievement). The number of wealthy kids that end up like Emma Navarro are few and far between; and people like her would likely succeed at high levels even without their family advantages. [/quote]
