Very well put. Here in the Bay Area, poverty creates more problems (such
as violence) than virtually anything else. But the media would rather
focus on exploiting rather than exposing the truth.
I try to do my own little tiny part each day (recycling, donating, doing
volunteer work, etc.). It's small, but I believe every little bit helps.
Although I don't agree with your views on guns, etc., I have a lot of
respect for folks like you who do something every day for the higher good
of all.
Peace.
