"It is a crime for people who live in this rich nation and receive starvation wages." M.L. King Jr.

"Man is man because he is free to operate within the framework of his destiny. He is free to deliberate, to make decisions, and to
choose between alternatives. He is distinguished from animals by his freedom to do evil or to do good and to walk the high road
of beauty or tread the low road of ugly degeneracy." ~Martin Luther King, 1959


Man must cease attributing his problems to his environment, and learn again to exercise his will - his personal responsibility. ~ Albert Schwietzer

Quite to the contrary, allowing someone to live with their choices is not a crime.


Stealing, however, is.

If we're in debt almost beyond our means to pay it back, how rich a nation are we?

In MLK's time, this might have been true. Today, "poor" means a car more than 5 years old, only basic cable TV, and a cell phone without internet capability. Can you believe it's possible people lived without a Wii?
