I understand MY wants us to understand poverty and suffer with those who suffer, but it is hard to do. I bought the star wars trilogy. My team saw the new one and we wanted to see the others (for comparison). I also needed to transfer files to my laptop from jens laptop. I have no cd's; she had no 3-1/5" floppy drive; therefore, I needed a flash drive. And while I was at it I bought a larger memory card for my digital camera. I thought it would be cool to film some things here in ATL to share with people after MY is over. It's all practical stuff, but my neighbors don't have the ability to just go out and get everything they want or need. Money can be such a barrier to a good life.
It makes me wonder...Don't people have a right to clean air? Why can people with money move to a neighborhood where the air is cleaner but poor peple have to deal with polluted air? Don't we all have the right to a quality living? Why does the amount of money you have determine the opportunities you get? Aren't we all entitled to food, medicine, a place to rest? People see a stray animal on the street, they feel bad for it, and say it has a right to a home. What about homeless men and women? People care more for the welfare of animals than fellow human beings at times? Why should people have to pay for every single thing? Aren't there things we are all entitled to as living creatures?

there are poor people who work in areas that have clean air. generally, people live near their workplace. a poor man that works in the city can buy a house 50 miles away in the middle of nowhere, but that's not economical. likewise, there are rich people that live in cities as well.
why do we have to pay for everything? that's capitalism. capital meaning money. if everything was free, you would have socialism which, in my opinion, is a terrible system. money is an incentive to work. if there was no money, we would be nowhere. technology would be nowhere.
and there are places for the homeless.
