It's really amazing, isn't it? Yet, they want votes for their candidate. And, of course, when said candidate doesn't do so well, then they'll complain that poor people "don't vote their own best interests." Yet, if we make noise about our own best interests, then it's "Stop talking about being Hurt... many people are hurt." Yeah, that really bespeaks of a lot of compassion. :sarcasm:

I think that these posts have shown exactly why some poor people have given up not only on politics, but even on voting. They know their pain doesn't matter, so why even try? (On the other hand, it was POOR PEOPLE who stood in line for 5, 7 and even more hours to vote, yet that is hardly ever credited to poor folk!)

I have been completely knocked over by the lack of caring. It's impossible for me to comprehend that people have become this hard. When I was protesting about Vietnam, there was so much compassion and caring and ultra-humaness! I can't understand what the hell has happened. I can only say now that as people are complaining that the muddleclass is suffering, I hope it colapses soon. That seems to be the ONLY way people will get their compassion back. When people are told to shut up about being hurt, the heart has gone out of the country, the party, and that candidate.

I'm glad that things are looking up for you. You focus on jobs. Remember that there are many people who can't work. Either from age or disability. We are people too, and still deserve to live.

Thank you so much for your kind words. Given all the ugliness in those posts, your words mean a lot to me!
