Well, Janie, looks as if we've worn the folks out...

Hope not...'Cause this discussion have been all over the map but it has also covered a lot of territory... I beleieve that John Edwards would benefit from reading it 'cause I don't thjink there are too many bases that havene't been covered here but...

...yeah... Bottom line it is about resources... Both in ***cause*** and in ***solutions***...

Where we might split hairs on "root causes", they are not all that important in the larger picture of what does a wealthy country do to correct a glaring weakness in it's social fabric... It makes US look as if we are really not this great country afterall... I mean, we can send a man to the moon but can't figure out how to adequately feed on 4 kids outta 5???

Sad commentary...

Good thread... No, great thread... Too bad that it's the so called compassionate conservatives who have a firm hold of both power and the microphone...

Yeah, too bad...

I am not feeling hopefull for our country... Seems that common sense and compassion have been highjacked by greed and more greed...

Yeah, it ain't rocket science on things that need to be done that will hael elleviate poverty... There just isn't the will and that is because our democracy is badly broken and "rednecks" have the power... And they aren't going to give it up without a fight which brings me back to what I said hundreds of posts ago and that is that it's going to take a revolution to get their attention...

(BTW, I have started another thread about just how our democracy has gotten so broken...)
