	Whatever: Being Poor
		Being poor is discovering that that letter from Duke University, naming you as one of three advanced students in your class invited to test out of HS early into their scholarship program, is just so much firestarter because the $300 it costs to take the test may as well be $3 million.
		Being poor means that even after you get unpoor and clean up your messes, you still get denied things like a checking account because the system can keep your error on their record for 7-10 years, even though you did clean up your mess as quickly as you could.
		Being poor is never telling your girlfriend that the house she meets you in front of is two blocks from where you actually live, because you never want her to know that you live in a trailer.

	Poor Things - Alasdair Gray
		Poor Things is a remarkable piece of work.
		The book, however, appends a letter, to be unsealed and read only in 1974 (sixty years after she wrote it) by Victoria "Bella" McCandless, in which she comments on McCandless' story and sets the record straight (or, if you wish, skews it further).
		Needless to say, she sees things quite differently, a sharp turn of events that casts everything that came before in quite a different light.

	Whatever: Being Poor Additional Comments Post
		Poor is : not being allowed by company policy to come back to work till a month after the baby is born and the Doctor has released you, so you go to a nightclub and lie that your in fine fettle cause if you don't your child has no roof over their head.
		Being poor is being seven-years-old, and crying in the garage when you stumble upon a used two-wheeled bike for your birthday, and realize your father--who has been working overtime at the factory whenever possible and weekend shifts unloading steel rolls from freighters--has been painting and adding streamers to your bike "in his free time".
		Being poor is your earliest memory, of your dad holding you in his arms and hating the woman at the unemployment office, her long pink press-on nails, and her expression that implies his worthlessness.

	Just Some Poor Schmuck: "Things Fall Apart" (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		As malaria was reduced or eliminated in places like southern Europe and the southeast United States, economic growth there took off, yet momentum for a global war on malaria began to wane.
		One of the reasons that the war on malaria "lost steam" was because a cheap and effective method of fighting the disease was discovered.
		More jobs for researchers, more money for their suppliers, more bureacracies to be built, more publicity for non-profits, more prestige in developing new treatments that the children in Africa can't afford.

	Poor Things
		"Poor Things" is the story of a lonely doctor, Godwin, who reanimates a beautiful woman's body who commited suicide (in a unique Frankenstein-esque fashion).
		Rather than being the author of Poor Things, Gray purports to be merely an editor, who has discovered a manuscript and letter, which he presents for the reader's examination.
		However, Poor Things is the kind of novel which, when read for a second time, offers the reader a whole new perspective on the goings-on and Gray is actively encouraging his readership to do this.

	The Urban Refugee » Staying Poor (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		Staying poor is a result of refusing to accept the consequences of your actions.
		Staying poor is also a result of our Liberal/Socialist government and its multitude of social programs which have assisted in the creation of a welfare dependent society.
		The main thrust of your post is that people are poor because they choose to be poor, or because they fail to choose not to be poor.

		You became poor in everything: poor in material things, poor in Your own will, poor in spirit, beyond anything that we can possibly imagine, infinitely poor, because Your love for us was infinite.
		You were poor like those who possess nothing, who do not even ask for what they need.
		You were poor in possessions, in friends, in power and human wisdom, poor in reputation for sanctity, in worldly honours, poor in everything that exists.

	Poor Things - End
		But, of course, in another sense it is surely possible to read Poor Things as a feminist text, demanding, implicitly and explicitly, both education and power for women.
		It is in the light of current arguments about the position of women that Alasdair Gray goes back to the 19th century to perform an experiment in creating a woman who is not moulded by the social and political pressures of the period.
		Since such a woman is impossible in the natural way of things, since no one can escape the pressures of the times, he must invent such a woman and Bella Baxter is the invention.

	How Will Greater Foreign Aid Help the Poor This Time?
		Conditionality in the 1990s expanded to include conditions on corruption and democracy, which was also ineffective; and the meddling of the aid community, combined with very unstable local domestic situations, sometimes led to failed states.
		The fascinating thing about the U.N. is that it is the main sponsor of the U.N. Millennium Development Goals Campaign to End World Poverty, and then, at the same time, the U.N. issues these incredibly gloomy reports about how badly everything is going.
		We could discontinue structural adjustment loans for poor countries under whatever name, because these have been an attempt at Utopian social engineering by the IMF and the World Bank that have not worked.

		One of Alasdair Gray's most brilliant creations, Poor Things is a postmodern revision of Frankenstein that replaces the traditional monster with Bella Baxter--a beautiful young erotomaniac brought back to life with the brain of an infant.
		Satirizing the classic Victorian novel, Poor Things is a hilarious political allegory and a thought-provoking duel between the desires of men and the independence of women, from one of Scotland's most accomplished authors.
		Poor Things is amusing and admirably angry, compassionate, and ironic as it looks in 1992 at the early days--modern as well Victorian--of a better nation."--Barbara Hardy, Times Literary Supplement

	immediacy: Poor Things
		The fact that this novel was not published in the genre, and won a couple of mainstream awards makes me wonder what else I'm missing in the "mundane" fiction shelves.
		Poor Things is supposedly non-fiction, as illustrated by its full title on the title page: "Poor Things: Episodes from the Early Life of Archibald McCandless M.D., Scottish Public Health Officer, Edited by Alasdair Gray." But this is all part of its mystique.
		Gray has constructed a literary puzzle, a Frankenstein's monster of a book that takes its inspiration from that novel by Mary Shelley as well as the works of Robert Louis Stevenson and H.G. Wells.

	Poor Things (Alasdair Gray) - book review
		The largest part of Poor Things is Episodes from the Early Life of a Scottish Public Health Officer, the memoirs of one Archibald McCandless.
		And it offers farce, melodrama and humour at all levels, from Gordon Baxter interpreting the plot of Hamlet as a public health problem to the use of illustrations from Gray's Anatomy.
		Poor Things is also, however, a political novel, in the Scottish progressive tradition.

	Resurgence 196 - Rich in things, poor in time by Wolfgang Sachs
		The tourist, upon seeing the lazy fisherman dozing in the sun, remembers his fears of becoming poor, of getting stuck in a situation in which he has no options.
		And for that reason, the expectation that rich societies should one day reach a level of saturation has not come about: when commodities become cultural symbols, there is no end to economic expansion.
		The rich may have plenty of things, but are poor in time.

		In the poorest countries, the idea of extending coverage to protect those who have remained poor throughout their lives appears impossible to achieve.
		The cost of fixing the system when shortfalls do emerge could be so large as to require drastic overhaul, including cuts in benefits.
		Such measures disproportionately hurt the poor, because they have saved the least during their working lives.

	The Modern Word - John D. Caputo Interview
		It is not only a ridiculous thing to say, but it is dangerous, a ruse in which a vicious nationalism and an enormous political stupidity and blindness makes its nest.
		The aim is not to destroy “the” Greek or “the” philosophical but to widen its circle, to disturb any attempt to close the circle, keep it open to the surprise, to what it does not and cannot see coming, which is what makes life interesting.
		The Heideggerians complain about technology and want to replace technology with the “hand,” with the things that are handmade, which they say are primordial and originary, and they look down upon the world-poor animals who they say have no hands, poor things (so let’s eat them!).

	Poor Things!
		Unfortunately, while they are recognised as the experts, their values and assumptions will carry on being regarded as having validity; they will be transmitted to families, to friends, to policy makers, even -- if we're not on our guard -- to ourselves.
		Through our resistance, we try and help these poor things to break free of their compulsive needs to pathologise us, to label us, to maintain their fondly-held attachments to ideas about normality and abnormality.
		If you put a brave face on it, go out there and make the most of things, take the world as a series of challenges to be overcome, then you'll be all right.
