I don't know where to start. That post is so absurd that it would take an ER dissect it and respond properly. I do not have the tolerance or patience to try. That view of the world has been beyond my ken for many, many years.

For a nice guy, certainly a good neighbor,a great 'Zoner, there seems to be a mind which is stuck somewhere.

Just for one, do you think your government gives a big rat's ass about you? Or me? Cares if either of us lives or dies? Or how? (Hint: Just don't ever embarrass it.)

I believe it was Jung who said that the center of all iniquity lies 5 km. behind enemy lines, because we cannot bear to face our own dark sides. Those who can face that realize that humanity is more important than national boundaries, that compassion and understanding includes those who live in yurts, tents, caves and have camels instead of Cadillacs.

And that poverty is not a moral issue to be condemned and you cannot starve a person into good citizenship.

There I go, doing what I said I wouldn't. Not because you aren't worth it, but because it's hard to paint the rainbow which is the world for eyes which see only black and white.
