I'm with you on this one Janice. You can wish that there weren't two systems of justice in this country, but trying to correct it willy-nilly only excacerbates the problem. trudogg's sentiments amount to confiscation.

consider myself lucky, I've never had that drive to "acquire" things.
My needs are fairly simple, but there are many who want...and want
desperately. Those are the ones you need to pay attention to...

The drive isn't necessarily to acquire "things" but to acquire success, knowledge and yes, sometimes power (it is that you need to pay attention to and fear).


There are many reasons some remain in poverty, many through no fault of their own, however, many it is indeed in their control. That is, stay in school, don't marry young, don't have babies and more babies when you can't even afford to feed yourself.
