We Compound Shame Upon Shame As We Encounter These Desperate People

And let us not forget here that much of the chaos that these people run from was created by our crazy wars. Wars on Communism. Wars on Drugs. And now our apparent war on common sense and decency.

Shame on all of us for not speaking up more forcefully on this matter. We could help them without it being a zero sum game, even as we help to solve problems in our own communities. We just can't do it when we allow ourselves to be turned against each other because Capitalism is the zero sum game of choice for those who are quite comfortable with keeping it that way. The ones who have convinced us that we can't utilize our own skills unless we do it through their view of a proper distribution of resources; as in working a gold mine where we do all of the digging, they get most of the gold, and we are left with one very toxic shafting process, that you know will never be cleaned up.
