Thank you all for your responses to my rant about big business. I respect the right of every person to speak their truth even if it is completely opposite of my belief.
I have to wonder why it takes two wage earners in a family to secure the necessities of life now. One used to be enough and mom used to be able to be home for their kids.
I am convinced that some of the blame for the terrible state of poverty in many third world countries could justifyably be laid on our doorsteps. North American foreign policies are geared to look after our interests first and everyone else last. Hey I'm glad that I live in a land of plenty. Couldn't we as the affluent West at least show a little compassion for those less fortunate?
I said my two cents worth and now I'm going to leave off and go strip some copper wire. I welcome all comments to any of my posts.
