No, I barely think about you at all.
I'm joking. I don't think you're scum and I don't hate anyone. You know that. Although, I think I hate that girl that won that lifetime pass to all the Disney parks...
I didn't mean anyone was being insensitive. I was feeling like people don't think about how crappy it would be to be working hard in those fields and then to come home and hear that people want to classify you as a felon.
Once I took a shuttle from Monterey to San Francisco. The shuttle was filled with people. This lady next to me looked out into a field filled with workers from the shuttle window and said to her husband, 'Oh look at that. Just like a Steinbeck book. People working the fields. How romantic.' I just about crapped myself. I thought, 'Romantic? Lady, do you have any idea what it's like doing what they're doing?' I of course bit my tongue. How I wished I could have grabbed that Filet-o-Fish out of her hands and pushed her into an artichoke field and made her pick veggies for a day.
