To have ONE hungry person in a country of plenty is a crime against humanity - to have ten of thousands hungry in a country of plenty is a tragecy...

I hope one day, the ones who is following us - will look back at our age, and wonder, why we was that barbaric, that we was not able, or willing to help everyone to have a decent living - a roof over their head - a bed to sleep in - and at least 3 decent meals to eat every day...
