That is absolutely the truth. Even if something happened to all of my income and my family I do have the comfort of knowing there is a local "soup kitchen" which is actually pretty well funded and stocked by local charities and churches and serves well balanced meals.

Slightly changing the subject that is why I was a bit miffed when Oprah said the other day that the saddest thing she ever experienced was the recent jury she was on and convicted a man of murder and plans to do a show on it. I thought about all the AIDS orphans and starving children she featured on her week of "Oprah is rich and bringing token crap to African children".
