I do think that deprivation of background and education is a crime against humanity, and the rich are very good at doing so. From where I am, local poor are totally destitute. The incredible lack of local libraries and book stores is appalling in the whole country. I just went yesterday to a library located inside the campus of the National University and it is almost empty, specially of literature and English books, in spite of English being “our putative second language.” This place really stinks.

To paraphrase Albert Cossery:
The poor are poor because, deprived of background, they cannot learn to steal properly, like the rich.
