Jesus told us that we would be judged by how we treat the least among us.
I never know why these people talk to me. I would not talk to me.
Maybe we should be directing our anger elsewhere - like toward Wall Street. Why is it we never think of Big Business when we think of welfare recipients? Companies take more of our tax dollars, and in much more questionable ways, than do those who are trying to heat their apartments with a kerosene stove.
The real problem with the IRS is that they let General Electric not pay any taxes -- and 50 other corporations -- that's the real scandal
I just decided to make a movie. I had no training, no film school, but I had been to a lot of movies.
How about that McDonald's two blocks from Ground Zero? That's killed more people than the 19 hijackers.
Guns don't kill people, people kill people.
I'm a citizen in a democracy. To call me an activist would be redundant. It's not a spectator sport. If we all become non-participants, it no longer works.

It's true that there's also much oppression of Palestinians in Arab countries, where Palestinians aren't allowed to vote or own property and are treated as second class citizens and pawns in the fight against Israel. But I'm not going to spend my time on this since there is isn't a whole lot I can do about it.
Instead of the Government spending $400,000 on immunisation, we may get far better health outcomes if we spend $100,000 in some other way, on nutrition for example...When you have an expenditure on getting your community healthier, then the resistance to many childhood diseases is stronger.
There Is No Terrorist Threat In This Country. This Is A Lie. This Is The Biggest Lie We've Been Told.
