[Vision2020] trashy people?

My goodness, take a molehill and build it into a mountain, why don't you. Have you ever heard the expression "figure of speech"?
I have nothing against poor people (I *am* poor, for that matter), or people who are rural (I grew up on a farm!) or live in trailers. I was using a popular expression to describe a certain type of person. I'm talking about meth-heads and sex offenders here, not single moms and hard-luck hard-working people.
But I won't take back what I've said. I'd rather be looked down on by Kirkers than panhandled by psycho drunks. But I suppose now you'll rise in defense of psycho drunks who panhandle.

You post that you prefer the "class" of bigots to "Latah County trailer
trash" and yet are surprised at the response? And my observation that with
an attitude like that, you likely aren't invited out too much qualifies as
"venom"?
Gee, I'd like to live in your world.
No, pal, "white trash" isn't OK, either. I may be just a bundle o'
sentiment and goo here, but people aren't trash. Ever. And whatever
circumstances guide their housing options -- maybe they have acreage, maybe
they're poor, maybe they like the cabinetry options in the triple-wide more
than those in the stick-built -- should not be subject to your withering,
but cowardly anonymous, judgment. Sorry you had a rough experience renting
in Moscow, but your attitude suggests you'll have a much more difficult time
living in Moscow. Or anywhere else, for that matter.

Wow, I should have remained a lurker. I've seen some of the venom on 20/20,
and didn't think my comments would provoke such nastiness.
Ok, I did not mean to denigrate anyone living in a trailer. I should have
said "white trash." Are there no terms of insult left?
The point I was trying to make... poorly... is that many people come to
Moscow from different parts of the state and the country, and although I
love local earth-friendly businesses like the Co-Op and Paradise Creek
Bicycles and One World Cafe, I feel that the arrival of snobby Kirker
merchants has helped raise the bar for Moscow.
I am not saying I approve of Pastor Wilson or his philosophy - but I do
think that a) Bucer's helped wake some Muscovites up to the fact that
businesses like Cafe Spudnik and the coffee place that was where Papa John's
now is filled a vital role, and that residents NEED cool cafes and hangouts
downtown; and b) I'd rather have NSA located downtown than the empty GTE
building.
Do I like the NSA/Kirker thing? No. But at least they have class, and
they seem to have provoked the community in a positive direction. I grew up
in Southern Idaho, and the Kirkers are far less offensive to me than the
Mormons that controlled my hometown - at least the Kirkers drink alcohol and
enjoy wild sex (at least if some of their blogs are to be believed).

OK, Penn, you deserve a double shot of my ire.
"Trailer trash"? Is that the way you see your community -- your neighbors
are either "bigots" with nice stores, or "Latah County trailer trash"?
Really? Is there something about living in a modular or mobile home that
makes people unworthy of your esteem? And are you so needy of fab downtown
shopping experiences that you would excuse what you call bigotry? Are
people so easily categorized? Dismissed? Embraced?
Might I be correct in guessing that you don't get invited out much?
Somehow, in the course of two posts, you've managed to show yourself not to
be one of Moscow's finest citizens, and I can say that no matter where you
live.

You know, I understand why people have problems with Kirkers and NSA
folks... I myself have dealt with a young elitist married couple that could
not have been more insincere and fake to me and my family dispite our
efforts to be neighborly.
That said - I really *do* admire how the Kirker/NSA element is helping to
class up Moscow. I do not patronize their businesses, but it is nice to have
clean, sharp stores and restaurants on Main Street. Not everyone in this
town - even young adults - want to shop at the stupid mall or college
student holes like the Pita Pit or Papa Johns.
I'll take elitist snobs over Latah County trailer trash any day of the
week, even if they are bigots. At least their stores are nice. They have
good
