Nay, nay, Jose. We don't barge in, ANYWHERE, with 'guns blazing!' Unless, of course, we're dropping into a hot zone.
Why would you say that, Jibber? About if it's one of the poor kids? In the communities i've lived in for the past 25 years, we took care of our own. If they were poor, we took them to the doctor, and paid the bill. If they were hungry, we took them to the store and bought them groceries. If they didn't have a place to even live, we all pitched in and bought them something. If they were orphans, we raised them and loved them.
Americans don't hate poor people.
We hate people that don't need to be poor, but are too lazy to even take the help we freely give, to begin to help themselves.
