Shanty towns, American style.

PS: I think you (you being Dottore) are one sorry fk for thinking that sending money and aircraft carriers for a few weeks after a disaster- all so that a horrendous status quo can be maintained- is actually help at all. If we wanted to help these folks we'd take about half of them and dump them off in some deserted corner of some US state. But no way in hell anyone will support that.

PSS: Didn't you say the US should always mind it's business?

Why that's weird... no one seems to want to respond to that.

It IS so much more chic to bemoan over the tragedy de jour. ...And of course moan about those who can be labeled as lacking compassion --for not being chic.


Tonight, at dinner out, I ran into a former in-law who raises funds for cancer research. Yeah, sucks to be her right now. Nowhere close to being the tragedy de jour. ...it's like cancer research isn't even on the menu anymore.

now, let's get back to talking about how insensitive and shallow those who aren't on-board with the tragedy de jour.
