Its true that governments cannot prevent it, but we as private citizens and

cowardly to not do anything at all to stand up to them. >>
I agree completely. I was going to add that while government cannot eliminate
poverty that as individuals and small groups we can do many things. It
sounded kind of "Bushy" to me so I left it out but I do believe that we can
make a difference. We just can't do it by legislative fiat
