I have lived at both ends of the spectrum in this country albeit I have never been totally homeless, having to live on the streets or out of a car. You can believe me when I tell you that the rich are more likely to find an ear.

I could have been one of the power moguls with a fat bank account if I wanted to hurt the little people while I got there. I wouldn't then and I won't now.

Sorry, but I won't wear rose colored glasses to look at the situation. Until you have lived in America you can't stand behind any argument with me on the subject.

I do participate on a local level in order to do what I can.
Nothing negative in that.

True, Moni. I have never lived in America, so I don't understand the mind-set. And doing what you can is certainly not negative. I was not implying that you were actually a negative person in general, Moni! You just seemed to have a negative view on just this one point. However, I accept the correction that you are realistic! My apologies.
