“A large and increasing portion of the population have a strong sense of entitlement.”

It has made my angry, it has made me bitter, and it has made me feel like a second class citizen in my interactions with family, friends who own homes, and even random strangers. I never could have anticipated the psychological affects that this has had on me over time that include despair, anger, resentment, jealousy and on and on. Yes, the warning signs of depression – from a guy who is generally very happy, easy going and never been depressed in his life! ”
for months… what about those people who have felt that way for generations, who don’t have the option of picking up and moving out to some podunk town where they can fit right in. instead, they can be escorted right through the county and back out to some other neglected cesspit.
