I saw the other post about beggars/panhandlers here and it reminded me of the general discussions regarding wealth, the haves/have-nots and how that distribution plays into society as a whole and the direct and indirect impact it has on the masses (all of us). I do realize it's quite easy to forget how hard life can be for some, despite our own feelings of what is right, wrong or fair. Despite what we are here on this board, in real life, I try to keep it in mind and be thankful for what I have and I know that many people still function and find happiness in the midst of all that is going on in the larger financial scheme of things outlined (whether poor, rich or in the middle). For that, you have to admire them all.
So, whether you are on the left, right, middle, out in space or agnostic about politics or social causes. Take a peek at this video (link below) and be honest with yourself (even if not with us) for a moment and really consider what you're seeing. It's very well done, very impartial and statistically thinking about it...pretty damn incredible.
Inside I suspect you will probably think the same thing I did = WTF?

Btw...politically I'm center on most things, right on fiscal/foreign policy and a tad left on social issues. Therefore, I'm fucked either way. Personally, I don't like any of our leaders from either party. As far as I can tell, they don't represent me.
Happy Thanksgiving!
