If your mental picture of me is anything other than "embittered, seasoned, jaded person who knows the human animal too well for their own good", you might already be further off than you initially believed. Nonetheless, yes, I do not believe in the notion of privilege and on the contrary I believe people to have the power to largely determine their own fate, disadvantaged or not. Instead of this however, I have witnessed most simply opt not to and instead point at anything but themselves for their problems, wasting away that energy rather than actually [i]doing[/i] something about it. In short, "privilege" is an excuse, [@Penny].
