        I agree. It is so beautifully written about a despicable subject.

      Thank you Gilly, I often write these to remind myself of how good I actually have it in comparison to many people around the world and that I need to make an attempt to do my part to make things better.

    Poverty destroys — a point that many of the powers-that-be count upon. Well written. :)

      Thank you Jen, they sure do count on it and that fact is a disgrace.
