Intresting pics you have there Ivan.....

Tell me, why would a good conservative such as yourself go to the Universiy of Berkeley website to get that first pic? Surely you could find one as impactive on another site. Why Berkeley?

As for the rest of the pics.... they were all taken in the early 70's acording to the leftist website you got them from.... http://www.american-pictures.com/

For everyone elses' entertainment I thought I would share the captions that come with a couple of these pics....

Linda and mother at sunset.

So poor were they in Linda's family - right next to Disney World in Florida – that they rarely had light before I moved in with them. I had just stayed with some millionaires in Palm Beach and had a little "millionaire money" with me so I could buy kerosene for their old lamp. Linda ran out to meet her father when he walked home in the darkness, shouting: "Dad, dad, we got a present.... see, see, light.. ...we got light!"

Well, the joy didn't last forever! Today I have to visit Linda in prison whenever I want to see her. The scars from childhood poverty eventually defeated her.

Shotgun shacks in rain

When I lived with a dirt eating family on the muddy dirt roads on Meridians northeastern side I had to pass these shotgun shacks. The name comes from the fact that you can shoot through every room in one shot. For the poor they correspond to the trailers of today. The place where I took the photo is today a shopping mall.

Ivan is FR the only conservative website you vistit? I am begining to think you a little more than just a commie. I think you are a liberal commie disrupter.

Why those pics??? Because they were the easiest to find and I was proving a point...if you bother to go further back up, you might notice that. The point is this: all the people who preach about how other nations need to do this and that, need to clean their own house first and lead by example. You might have noticed, I did not put any of the Clan and other such pics on it...why? Because I know that they are no longer a major issue and the US moved away from that for the most part. So there, stick that in your craw.

By the way, I didn't include the commentary because I don't agree with it...but are you seriously denying that such poverty exists all over the US? Hell, just go off of the Ft. Bragg reservations and see some of the trailer parks and share croppers...or just north of Ft. Knox (south of Louiville along DieWay 30).
