Hi Pax....the lifestyle I described is not an extreme example.Its more of the norm in my neck of the woods. And in much of rural America. The big cities offer a variety of opportunity, that is not available in rural America. But it also takes money to move to a new environment. I can understand that individuals living high on hog in a gated neighborhood, would have little concern about the poor. Its just not part of their universe. A year ago I worked at a busy grocery store (doing all that need to be done) and the big surprise was the number of shoppers (young adults married and single) that could not afford a car. If poverty is a handicap, not having transportation is a bigger handicap. I do not begrudge anyone of a prosperous life style. Nor do I envy them, because wealth brings on a whole different set of problems. The two problems in life : not enough money to do anything and having enough money to do anything you want in life. (both are destructive to survival).
