Reply #25: Walk a mile in her shoes

that's how I see it. People don't think, and they forget, talk is cheap.

I believe we're going to see more and more homeless, as time goes on and the housing market busts, unemployment, gas, and food costs rise.

And the police state just this week announced they're going to be watching THOSE people, the homeless, for being terrorists.

But we'll just keep spending our money on terrorism to keep us ALL safe. Though that safety means precious little to those on the street. As if lives wasted and or at risk aren't a tragedy in and of themselves. As if security and freedom mean much to one treated as an enemy for standing in the street. What does that society offer? A cold shoulder.

Now contrast that with THIS

Chavez Dismisses Robertson Death Threat, Offers 'Medical Aid' to U.S. Poor!
"
The Venezuelan president apparently thought little of death threats from U.S. evangelists. He did, however, offer to enroll 6 million Americans in Cuba's free health care program, and even said he would sell poor gringos gasoline at half the going rate. No word yet on how those in need of a doctor will travel to Havana to receive care.
"

I also read yesterday that he has worked to set up food service for those in need. Meals are offered twice a day, at various sites around their country, and they make a point of saying it's because everyone deserves food. Not that too many people are poor. That point was stressed to the writer. I wish I could find that link, it was a good story, and great to use in comparing Chavez to Bush.

Now this from yesterday, he offered free medical aid? Wow. This guy is really something. And he's doing all for his own people. Takikng on the world AND Bush.

Sure as hell wish we had something like that, don't you??
