no one who drives a mini-van is a person.
nope
If you want to be a person you have to have the right vehicle, or perhaps no vehicle at all.
And you can't have house-wifey hair.. oh no.
You need the "excuse me I'm suffering" haircut, or perhaps studied disheveled angst hair.
Some Visible rebels are a good example.Yes they are allowed to divide the world up into the cool and uncool, but when they themselves are judged
well.. they go home and write poetry about it.
Now of course, there may be the odd exception to that rule.
Some mini-van drivers, may well be "okay" once you get to know them, but they have to prove themselves and make you say "Hey, you're not what I thought you'd be like"
but one *cannot* make the mistake of assuming that perhaps others that they don't know personally, who drive mini-vans, and *ack* maybe have children, and buy groceries, and are wearing the wrong jeans actually are people, and have had hardships, illnesses, and ethics.Sometimes I have to stop and think
"Is there a person behind that prejudice"
