In the not so distant past, the Eskimos were a nomadic people. They had to keep moving or starve. When one got too old to keep up, they were left to die by freezing or as a snack for a wandering polar bear.
On the plains of Africa, they were left for the lions.
When a lion is too old or injured to hunt, she is cared for by the others.
How far above all this are we? Billions for war, not one cent for affordable health care. All you conservatives out there, tell me why I should be proud to be an America.
