basic human needs for survival. That says nothing about those who live
right
at the poverty line. You dont think the idea of being fed and clothed
excites these people to an extent unimaginable to you and i? to express
your
feelings and thoughts in a manner that says they are universally true is, to
me, one of the worst things a person can do. >>
Great post, Jtw. You're exactly right. I said it before and I'll say it now:
There are too many people sitting pretty in cozy comfort zones here in
America and they don't care about the suffering of others across the world.
They say they care, but they don't. If they did, they wouldn't have spent
their money on entertainment centers and classic car collections. If they
cared, they would have spent their money on helping keep another person
*alive*(maybe even, gasp, a stranger) rather than keep their fat selves
*entertained*.
