[ale] those of you reading this while within US jurisdiction should have a care....

[Robert L. Harris]

  Hitting the list was an accident of habit, nothing was intended.

  I'm not disparaging him or insulting him.  I see him showing up in a
nice clean suit with full confidence in the economy.  Fine and dandy,
how about letting him walk in the shoes of those who have lost faith?
How can he make decisions of our nation's economy without living
multiple sides?  Numbers don't show the faces of all the people out of
work, homeless or otherwise.

  As per homeless and "out-of-luck", I'm not too happy we're sending
billions to south america's corrupt governments when we do have
Americans homeless and out of work.  No we as good "humans" shouldn't
ignore them, but shouldn't solving the world's problems atleast start at
home to some degree?  What's the old parable about the toothpick in your
brother's eye?
