We do have too many people in denial in this country that I think Tom Lehrer well described noting that some people do not love their fellow man, and, I hate people like that.

Have we been too rich for too long that now some cannot see what is in front of their own eyes? And, how many more bricks will it take before they do?

Nice effort in defining the problem.

Until the bricks or whatever take hold, I hope we can live, laugh, love, learn and lift ourselves and each other to some more glorious end.
