This article reminded me of a discussion I had a while ago in Jersey:

Lots of people in this country are basically born on 2nd and 3rd base and then manage to stay there for the rest of their lives. And many of them look down on those who start at home plate and fail to hit a home run.

[sarcastic snark]For those still on the home plate, why are they so damn lazy and/or dumb? I certainly work(ed) hard for it![/sarcastic]
