Jeannie, I share those thoughts. I too manage on very little cash, and yet I am aware of how priveleged my life is. Having traveled to India and other parts of Asia helped me to have this increased perspective. I keep thinking without knowing for sure, that maybe some of my neighbors are beginning to appreciate the peace we enjoy. I like to think that other people around me realize that real people are dying so that we can put gas in our cars and drive wherever we feel like. I don’t know everyone around me, but I have to hope for something more evolved. Actually, I think most working class and poor and even well of folks with a working class background, know what is going on and are noticing changes and grasping for something more sustainable. Then there are pockets of people who voted for McCain and want the world to return to something more familiar and are willing to pay the price of somebody’s dead body or bodies at the gas pump.

Jeannie, Americans are divorced from what is happening in the real world. A few moments of Faux News shows that.

If you could occasionally address the topic of the post, Chucky, it would make a nice change.

My blog is not about you. Perhaps you haven’t noticed.

David, thank you for your critique of my written word. I appreciate it immensely. I continue to see the world as increasingly obscure and vulgar and therefore I hesitate to take a break. PBDFA, Chucky Moreland.

Everytime I hear people in this country complaining about how hard their life is even though they have a job and health care and a roof over their head I think about those people who are living on $2 a day. When I try to explain to them how good they have it I cannot seem to make them understand.
Even though I do not have a lot of money for an American I am by world standards a wealthy person. I recently visited a web site where you could enter your income and it would tell you where you ranked in world wealth. I was in the top 15%. Even though I certianly don’t feel wealthy I am.
Most Americans seem to be too insulated from a realistic view of the rest of the world. Since the vast majority have internet access there is no excuse for such ignorance of the real world.
They just don’t get it!

Chucky, I’m finding your comments are becoming increasingly obscure and vulgar. Take a break for a few weeks!

David, please edit. I watched a very disturbing program this evening and I can’t find my equilibrium. ” I was born a poor white child. I truly hate, every white supremacist that ever walked the face of this god-forsaken earth. ” I hate American history. It leaves me riddled with bullets and bombshells of sick and unconscionable behavior that has no explanation in a sane mind. My wife insists that there are POCKETS OF PEOPLE, that will turn the tide. Do you believe this to be true.? Peace, but don’t f@#k around, Chucky Moreland.
