Having the good fortune of living in a country where most families (though not all) have no unmet needs as far as housing, public services, etc. at the very least obliges us to refrain from ridiculing countries where many or even most citizens don't have that privilege.

Most of our fellow Americans understand that - certainly everyone here on DU. It's a embarrassment, and above all a shame, that our so-called president doesn't.
