Re: Prodigal Son. There are dozens of verses in Scripture about helping poor, widows, aliens, and orphans. No qualifiers that I can see.

Direct your wrath towards those who can change the situation. It does no good to rant against the "cockroaches" as you call them. If DC had 10 million people breathing down their necks daily, stuff would change. They just don't want it to change, so you have to ask, why not?

This is true. Even a couple hundred seems to scare a lot of Representatives. The problem is one has to stay in permanent battle mode every day of the week. The enemies have plenty of resources and like termites if frustrated in one direction start chewing away in another. I have found pure, unadulterated concentrated rage at the vermin trying to destroy the nation to be a sort of caffeine of the spirit.

Our leadership has been determinedly abdicating responsibility to fulfill the tasks assigned to them. THEY are put in office to do the unpleasant work of facing ugly reality for us and do ‘not so nice’ things, but they refuse.
