I want to thank my friend and adversary Bill Gillen for inspiring this blog. Lately he has shown his more human side and I respect that.<\/p>\n
We sit back and type on our laptops and PCs and based on our political wing either left or right rant about the evil that the other does. Our pantry is full of food, we have air conditioning when it’s hot and furnaces when it’s cold. Most, though not all, can go to our doctor when we get sick. We decide what is right or wrong in the world.<\/p>\n
When babies die in underdeveloped nations in the world we blame the other side. Whether the death is from starvation, aids, malaria, civil unrest, it doesn’t matter. If you are on the right you blame the left, if you are on the left your blame the right. We are all to blame.<\/p>\n
We complain about the use of DDT when it does save lives in the underdeveloped nations. We say that genetic altering of plants are wrong even though they can feed the starving.<\/p>\n
Most have never visited a country or even a section of their own country that suffers. <\/p>\n
I, for one, suffer when any child suffers. I suffer with every death regardless of the cause.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
