I meant that our socialist leanings in this country prevent us from being accosted by poor people begging for food. Oh, and did I come off as a Marxist. Nooo way, I'm a suburban housewife with a BMW who spends two out of four weekends a month at a day spa...yaay capitalism. Still, I don't mind giving a little more of my husband's hard earned cash to buy off the guilt of living well. Mr KITAW, I hope you don't plan to start a blog soon because you seem to be able to write what I am thinking way better than I can...I don't know if I could take the competition. FINALLY, why are you guys posting on *this* post? Go to the most recent one, so everyone can read your great comments without having to rummage through past posts! As always, thanks for insights and keep 'em coming!! karmy, karmy, karmy. what am i *going* to do with you?! :) I never intimated that we should give U.S. taxpayer’s moolah to poor Indians.

This world is not about conservatives or liberals or marx, lenin or engels. Coming from a country where these three faces looked down from the main square of the city I will tell you that it is how it is used. People were attracted to these philospohies becuase the rich got greedier and the poor were vandalized. Similar to how Martin Luther protested to the corrupt Catholic Church. So I take what JP II says and does with a grain of salt. Probably the most corrupt religious organization of all time has no place to chastize people fighting for freedom (not that I condone the ways of some of these so called freedom fighters). <br/>What was my point .... think for yourself and dont let some priest or pontiff or leader influence you.. and you know that was what I believe Jesus was trying to tell us. Until that is ofcourse until the Romans figured out this was a way to control the masses. Why do you think a large majority of Romans were attracted to his teachings.... it was about helping the poor and the dowtrodden and those suffering at the hands of the wealthy. <br/>I have nothing against wealth infact I embrace it and want more of it however human nature is hauman nature and if not kept in check most are greedy and want more.. more ..more <br/>Now I have totally lost my train of thought<br/>Oh and by the way religion (islam or christianity) have always been used as a way to control. The europeans used it as a way to control the masses before sending in the cavalry. <br/>However the eastern religions are more about self improvement, self awareness..<br/>All this started with Clinton, McCain and Obama huh<br/>on that do what makes sense to you but I myself will not put into office a person who is confused about his political identity and is afraid to be photographed with his benfactor (McCain that is). I respect him but no more of the McSame. He may be a war hero but I dont think he understands world politics if he is going to continue Lil Bush's policy. Whatever happened to well thought out politicians like Bush Sr. and James Baker and Colin Powell and Reagan etc.. When engaging the enemy is called surrendering... I worry about this country if McCain gets elected. And he wont vote for a new Bill for GI's saying it is too generous WOW!!!!<br/><br/>LIVE LONG AND PROSPER<br/><br/>Mr. KITAW Mr. KITAW says

First to digressions. Chista, When I said in a prior post that if I went to India I would probably anticipate questions from Indians concerning the country of my origin etc. etc. By that I meant that if I went to India to live, it would not be unreasonable to expect such questions. I never said that you were a tourist in this country, nor did I imply it, nor did I even think it. lol :-D Ok, 'nuff said. <br/>Another thing. I have to admire your concern for the poor of India.(Kissing up starts now :-D) Nevertheless, I can't find any provision of the U.S. Constitution which permits the government to rob taxpayers at IRS gun point for the purpose of feeding, housing, clothing, etc. of Indian children. By the way, charitable giving went up 56% between 1980 and 1989, the so-called decade of greed, better known to Americans as the Reagan Years. My heart bleeds also for the world's poor, but let's remember the words of a very wise man: "The poor you have with you always." And more .. charity begins at home. <br/>karmy I’m baaaack.
