the poor will always be with us, there is no cure for poverty. I am not talking donations only, stop and have a conversation with some of these folks, might learn something. I am not advocating that this will make America better, I am advocating that giving dignity to others has a ripple effect. The $10 you give to an old man whose food stamps wont come in for 4 days might come in handy when you are old, broke and your food stamps wont come in for 4 days. Its called sympathetic magic :-)
thanx,
