You mean the ones with the hair extentions and the 4 inch designer finger nails?

Just try to question the need for orgs like The Hunger Task Force, and you will be accused of being insensitive to the sufferings of the poor and/or oppressed. In my part of the country western Wisconsin, where there is no lack of appreciably large-sized people, we have THTF to urge people to send money to the hungry and starving. Supposedly these hungry and starving wretches are filling the streets with their emaciated bodies hands outstretched for crusts of bread from passerbys.

I have to ask the question...where are these people? All I see around my part of the country are either very fit, well-dressed people who appear happy and well-able to feed themselves, or extremely well-fed people who look like they might need an extra tire to help support their bulk. Where are the hungry and starving people?

There is a problem, and some children do not get enough to eat in this country. Hunger is not the problem, it is a symptom of the problem.

In Long Beach, Ca. outside of many a grocery store you will find someone offering to sell their EBT allotment for half price. They want to purchase drugs or alcohol and they need cash for that. Drug addicts are never hungry. If kids are going hungry it is not because of lack of effort on our part.

There is also the related problem of the killing fields in Mexico and the mass migration of Mexicans flooding our borders. All of this is a huge threat to our stability. I believe it is time to get serious about the problem, the real problem, drug addiction.
I am talking about automatic death sentence to major drug dealers, cartel members, gang members involved in distribution. There is no nice way to stop this cancer that is destroying our country. We don't need therapy we need surgery.
