Privileged? Im not privileged, Mr. Lyon Im a miner.
I work down there on my hands and knees, 48 hours a week.
Look at my hands. Look at your hands.
I should be where you are. I should be doing what youre doing. I know
Im no great Shakes, and I know by any real standards Im just as
mediocre as you are. Were both in the same boat here. But I should be
where you are: an important man, devoting my time to art and
literature, and meeting brilliant people.
Why cant that be me?
Im a miner, Mr. Lyon. We might be proud. We might be independent.
But were not privileged in any way.
