Reply #4: I needed to hear that.

Thank you for the awakening.

I was watching "The Grapes of Wrath" on TV, and had to turn it off, because I see our nation slowly slipping back to those days. The utter lack of compassion, "survivor" mentality, and complete disrespect for the poor drove me to tears.

I once believed in our nation. People like MLK, John and Bobby Kennedy inspired me to reach higher, to do more, to make a difference (and I was only a kid then).

Where are those leaders today? All I hear is "the government doesn't want to care for people anymore, so get your own damned Social Security. Don't have any money? Nothing to invest? It's your own damned fault that you were born into poverty."

And Halliburton, the pharmaceutical companies, and all the rest gorge on the feast of rotting human corpses. Immoral doesn't even begin to describe it. Amoral may be closer, but we need a better word to call total depravity of soul what it is.

God help us all.
