Yes, people who work cleaning toilets and who out of desperation steal
the property of others tend to be poor, but to suggest that they are
dim-witted because they are poor or clean toilets is a truly repulsive,
vile, classist thing to say that tells us a great deal about you.

There are plenty of people on this list who at one time or another
worked at jobs that were the equivalent of cleaning toilets, or had
parents or grandparents who did.

Just who the hell do you think you are, Anthony, to make this kind of
statement. Boy, was Kyle on the mark when he pointed out that there are
people who think that they are somehow "special" because they own
Leicas.
