Well Now

There are people in the world so hungry, that God cannot appear to them except in the form of bread. Gandhi
Absent from this "political "debate, between those who have a lot and those who want even more, is/are any mention of the poor, the sick the suffering.Occasionally the democrats toss a bone as it were, in that direction, and both parties go on quoting Jesus[who must be sobbing in agony at their behavior],yet doing nothing.I know I know, 8 years of George Bush blah blah blah.Would the world be discernibly better for the people living on the margins of the margins with a Democrat?I will simply ask what anyone in either party would do for the least among us, for the families who can't survive, for the man working two wal mart type jobs to make 1/3 what he did before companies moved their labor abroad to make even greater profits, for all the kids in inner cities with asthma and , almost unbelievably, TB?TB in 2008?sigh...I think the only answer is in doing whatever is directly in front of you, loving and caring for what you see right in front of your eyes.You will not have to look far.Smile.Pick up some litter.Offer the not-so beautiful woman a hand with her packages.Check on the old folks on the block.look at the clouds with your feet on the ground.And for God's sake, be kind.It makes a difference
