I wasn't stating an opinion - I was stating a fact so agreement isn't necessary.  As for the rest of your post, well, I clearly disagree.  It could be because I was raised on welfare and food stamps, that I am the first person in all of my extended family to graduate from high school, or that I am the only person from my high school to ever get a PhD.  In any case, life is too short to spend on one web conversation.  Best of luck to you.
