What I have gleaned from this discussion is that folks come from different types of poverty depending on the environment.

ie: The Hillside housing project in south Richmond is a completely different environment than small town Washington State or Rural Manitoba.

Different folks need different types of help and the best we can do is give what we can and pressure the government to provide for those in need. There really is no excuse for children to go hungry or homeless in the U.S., Canada or Britain.

Stop spending billions on useless wars that cause more misery and start spending those dollars at home. Enough is enough.
