What hurts, Bernie, is the Victim-blaming implicit in the question " why do you stay" and whole passive agressive "if you don't like it just go somewhere else" it pushes a button in me, of other causes and other efforts where, when one protests ill treatment, one is told
to pack up and go And the sad, bad part is EVEN IF I WANTED TO I CAn't but the worst part is, if i could, i would but if i could, then i wouldn't want or have to... if i could marshall the resources to move, i could marshall the resources to make it better, to fix it… but that doesn't even get to the why should i be the one to leave my home that i worked so hard to get and give up my little yard and the trees i planted and all my tools and equipment?
