why is it that there are people in the world who are going to bed hungry tonight? why is it that there are children who trust adults only to have their innocence, their youth ripped away from them? why do we, as a nation, put up with spousal abuse? why do politicians have cushy homes/limo service/HUGE expense accounts/extravagant dinners/vacations etc. and get to send the bill to us...the citizens of the USA. the same people who work their butts off to "make ends meet"??? why is that???
