Well, that's a nice implication, isn't it? Last I checked there aren't a whole lot of white people in Africa or Haiti living in poverty that I described as true poverty. So, no, ISM, it isn't who. I would accuse you of not caring about non-Americans, but that would be ridiculous.

I think I also said that I wouldn't want to live below the poverty line here in the US.

I also don't think I said any problem ion the US should be ignored. I just find it amazing that some Americans think poverty is bad here when the concept of true poverty is so unknown here.

My perspective is certainly limited in some areas. No doubt.

If you think I'm stupid for thinking we have a liberty crisis, well, OK then. I don't see it.

Health care - or rather insurance issues - could be better. Always could be. But I see no crisis. I see increasing life expectancies every time such statistics are taken. I don't see widespread disease.
