Over half a million homeless people in America is not a cause, it’s a symptom. A nation’s economy should to the best of our ability set everyone up to win. Yet ours does not. Those who hold the major levers of power don’t even think that would be a good idea. 1/3

From refusing to tax the very richest to corporate subsidies to absurd military budget, our biggest problem isn’t economic but moral: a willingness to see massive human suffering as an acceptable result of our economy’s driving impulse to give more to those who already have. 2/3

The only thing that will keep this country from an ultimate descent into societal madness is a massive change of heart.3/3

Good luck with changing human nature.

That is not human nature. It is a perversion of human nature. God created us to love one another. By organizing our societies to do otherwise we are acting against our God-given nature.

It's a nice idealized thought, but the very notion that humans need a "god" to get through life decently proves my point.

God is Love, and yes, we do need love to get through life decently. Individually and collectively. That was my point.

Love you Marianne, but spend 4 years at a CATHOLIC all boys high school, and you'll learn what real human nature is all about.
