Sad, even though I no longer trust our government, I am thankful that God let me be born here. My children would be taken care of even if I kicked the bucket.

Sis Alvear, add a lack of food and clean water to the mix and it is a disaster!
Sadly, the storms in Burma claimed so many lives was in large part due to the widespread poverty & squalid conditions in which they live.

Sad.

There is enough wealth and resources around the world that this shouldn't happen.

If our country would stop policing the world and stop going into space and use that money to help the poor can you imagine how much good our country could do? Not trying to politicalize this thread, it's just a thought.

I see a lot of hunger everywhere I go here in the northeast...
