Thanks! Though I'm genuinely not trolling for sympathy. I'm well aware that I'm fortunate and have some advantages, and that there are inequities that need correction, but I also like to think there's a certain amount of merit involved in the nominee selection process.
because how dare I be so narrowminded to not agree completely with a certain person's angry view of the status quo
That completely is the crux of the thing. To some people, even agreeing partially isn't enough.
We're moving to Chicago as economic refugees in a way. Going to try to live in a cheaper place and transition (eventually) to a one-income household. I will start spending more and more of my time writing. We picked Chicago as the place for that because my wife is from there originally. :-) It's just too expensive in New York, much as we love the city.
