As I’ve mentioned before I can never forget the faces and voices of those who suffer, once exposed to them it is impossible for me to disregard them, ever. When I wrote my last post (They Will Get What They Want) I mentioned New Orleans and the result of Katrina in light of what we are now facing with the current economic meltdown (meltdown for most, enrichment for others). I did not plan to write this present post highlighting New Orleans and what happened in Katrina’s aftermath.

Canada to give $4 billion to the U.S. auto industry, Sweden offers $3.4 billion to the U.S. auto industry, Bush proposes $17.4 billion for the U.S. auto industry and on and on and on!

There was a couple of barns, a silo, a pig’s pen, chicken coupe, rabbit hutch, plenty of acreage for the cows to move about and a yard for free roaming chickens, it was a little boy’s paradise!

There are times (many in fact) when I feel completely overwhelmed by what I wake up to and try to fall asleep with every single day. I often think about those who are less fortunate and remember all the faces that I’ve seen that reflect a life of wretched discomfort and pain that this world envelops them in. Read more »
