I've been so embarassingly wrong making assumptions about peoples backgrounds I have stopped and let them prove themselves out in full.

So many people in the public think of farmers as lazy handout taking drains on society. Maybe there are some, but most I know are smart, hard working, resourceful, and loath a handout unless its to do something the government is making them do not by their own choice.

I'm an engineer by education and day job, and in my work it regularly leads to people discounting me as an unpractical theoretical guy. Turns out I'm a real hands-on guy with a background in doing all sorts of things other than designing things from a desk. I have to prove this over and over again to people and it get tiring that engineers are labelled as such.

Anyways, I find not prejudging people tends let people surprise you with their abilities, political stripes and well, all sorts of things.
