Too often we forget that one of our central focuses should be on those who have nothing, and no way to help themselves. While the country panics about Ebola this winter, how many will die from the cold, from hunger, from illness? An economic gas chamber is the sad truth of the nature of poverty.

Thank you for the piece. Preaching to the choir or not, we always need the reminder.
