I wonder if something like this ever happens here? San Francisco has so many homeless.. and some people try to help, but it gets worse and worse each year, with more and more people showing up. I guess it was this way during the 60s as well.. some things never seem to change.

thanks in large part due to the Internet, ripples in the pond spread far and wide.

I believe that one day, humanity; should it survive will have the economic and emotional capability; to eliminate poverty and homelessness.

In the meantime we will run through these cycles of waxing/waning empathy, indifference, greed and selflessness until we find our way...to our higher selves on a macro societal level.

Peace to you. yuiyoshida.

people full of wisdom, compassion, courage, life force, joy and good fortune. I know this because I'm with an organization that is determined to make this happen, and our founder Nichiren Daishonin said that we would win in this endeavor "as surely as an arrow aimed at the earth will reach its mark." It's coming soon! You can join us, or just support from the sidelines. We are the SGI.

good, bad and neutral with the decisions we make, words we use and actions we under-take every day, this is especially true with the advent of the Internet.

Thank you again and I will consider your offer.

Peace to you.

The evolutionary basis of all morality.

Republicans are missing either some positive conditioning or some gene. Or both.
