Do you ever wonder why homosexuals/heterosexuals, pro-lifers/pro-choicers, religious/atheists and etc. are always going at each other? I know why: it's because the one percent who holds the world's wealth wants to be free to wheel and deal without watching eyes. It's just as well though because what the hell would we do to change our society? It's too big a task for mere powerless people. The best we can do is play the role written for us by the media via the wealthy who controls governments.

Using America as an example, it's much easier for people to theorize about things that are out of reach rather than get their hands dirty physically getting involved. Sure, the politicians pass bills around, passing and vetoing them at will, but it is supposed to be we, the people, they serve.

However, what does any of this have to do with homeless in America, starving children in America, etc. We live here. It's as though we really don't give a damn about these problems so we make ourselves seem too busy to handle our own sociological atrocities.

We are drowning in the rhetoric the media and politicians pour on us every day. When we can use one voice and state that we want our problems addressed, the powers that be will have to act to feed, clothe and shelter the people of America. I really don't know why they wouldn't want to strengthen our society by raising its weakest members.

I worked for the Census Bureau several years ago, during which I found a large number of empty government houses, and that is just from where I lived. Who knows how many there are states wide. Why are there empty houses when men, women and children are sleeping in bushes in Washington D.C. and every other state from sea to shining sea? This is beyond greed.

There's got to be a time when we Americans have to stop fighting about our differences so people will stop starving. That will be the day the one percent will quake in their money bags.
