(9,298 posts)since I've finally gotten around to reading Rick Bragg's All Over But the Shoutin' which moves forward in time a bit, but which chronicles the desperation and soul-depletion of a mom trying to raise 3 boys in Georgia and Alabama. Her entire world was the meanest and most frightening fight for SURVIVAL - keeping those kids fed. Actually, her 4th child died as an infant.
Dragonfli, I'm with you on your well thought-out post. We are headed in a very dangerous direction. We do have the means, but we surely lack the will. Must also say how totally messed up and hypocritical our nation's "Christians" are - they pull out all these Bible verses that they say support all their anti-human beliefs, but never seem to consider "the least among us."
