And that photo isn't even scratching the surface of the poverty that's common in India. At least those kids in that photo don't know they're poor. I've seen some heart-wrenching, horribly maimed beggars in other countries, folks who would get rich panhandling in the U.S. Worse yet, some of those kids are kidnapped and maimed by their kidnappers to make them more pitiful beggars. There is a lot of suffering out there and not too much in the U.S.
