worship

Somehow, in the Us, we are so insulated from the world, at least those of us on the fringe of the middle. A billion people go to bed without clean water or enough food each day, that is over three time the entire population of the us and Canada, every day! And we piss and moan about trans fats!Intellectuals squabble, dissect, and talk about writing papers.Conservatives say"it their own fault" and just don't care. Liberals wring their hands,and give a bit of money to ease their convenient consciences, and do nothing. The question, i guess is am I my brothers or sisters keeper? if not, well then fuck 'em, right? if so, what to do? As i remember Jesus once said"you ll always have the poor with you" which , unbelievably, many have taken to mean you don't have to do anything to address the problem!!As if Jesus a poor marginal Jew who scraped his hardscrabble life together by the work of his hands and the kindness and table fellowship of others, would ever be anything save sensitive to the poor. He did say we would be judged, judged,by what we did for the poor sick imprisoned hungry ,destitute ,the whores ,drunks ,junkies,immigrant, the OTHER. By this measurement, we as a people have failed miserably and totally. Calling the USA a christian nation is like calling the former soviet union a "workers state",pure fiction.We worship one thing in this country,POWER through its conduit, MONEY. Everything else is simply bullshit. Jesus wept...
