despite your cynicism (if I read you correctly) you continued to give people a break. Good for you. We lead by example.
I have worked with many families on the economic edge - and indeed some of the "adults" living on the economic brink end up acting in "shady" ways (at least from our perspective)... I think that they view it as trying to survive. Doesn't excuse the sometimes awful behavior (and working with the kids in these families - sometimes I want to weep.) But that perspective does help me understand it - and remain helpful - but cautious.
