Not really directly or specifically related to Springfield. But with a lot of discussions and topics that many of us deal with, I think it's useful and information to let everyone one know that when we hear "pull yourself up by your bootstraps" as the solution to personal or societal issues, what we are really being told is

"If you are not able to achieve incredible near impossible personal effort and dedication and pseudo perfection in dealing with your struggles, then you don't deserve help, your problem is your personal failing or lack of quality."
