I think that anyone could relate to CITR regardless of social class. Wealthy
people are not the only ones in society that can become disillusioned. While
the reasons for becoming so may differ, disillusionment is still there.
American society has more than enough problems to go around for everyone to
get fed up. If you relate disillusionment to hopelessness then it seems easy
to say that CITR can be related to any social class as the empoverished are
often without hope and are disillusioned at the prospects of advancing in a
society that pushes them down directly and indirectly. Ah crap, I can't make
much sense. Feel free, to disregard my post. PHOOEY!!!!
