Your posts frequently attract my attention and you always have something important to say.

One thing about the neocon agenda that is particularly sinister is this: they are deliberately creating an environment governed by the principle of "every man, woman, and child for one's self" - and at the same time they are desperately trying to privatize charity by handing it over to churches and the like (something I strongly oppose, but that's another issue). Clearly the Republicans know that by eliminating the safety net they create an atmosphere that causes private charity to essentially dry up. People are afraid to give away a significant portion of what they have because they know they may need it for their very survival.

The people behind this neocon movement are evil. What they are doing they do knowingly. Those (like you and I) who have worked hard and accumulated assets are not. We're simply trying to survive under an increasingly dark and ominous system. And, like you, we'll all do what little we can to help others along the way while trying to avoid going under ourselves. My hat is off to you!
