How many countries have you lived in???
It must be an awful lot to make that assertion.


  More to the point, those are not life affirming societies in much of any
way, they are more like barbaric societies.

Okay, but the point that I'm making for the third time is that there are
homeless children all over America - does that make you less life-affirming, or
more barbaric?


The only guilt I feel is that the system I am an unwilling partial member of
supports (or uses) those barbaric systems.

I understand that, but I thought you said you only had responsibility for
yourself? Or is social responsibility a secondary optional one?


I'm saying we need to fix this crap, and you are saying I don't know its
there.  Again, get real.

I'm wasn't saying that you didn't know it was there. Your comment about how if
you saw a homeless child in the street, then you (and most everyone else) would
take them in, seemed that you had at least forgotten. There will be plenty at
your local city..
