Sorry to be cold and come across as bitch. And let me go on record as saying that the good old USA is a beautiful country with some wonderful people. (Spend some time in Mobile Alabama and you will know what I mean.)

But to be blunt, if rich countries like America want to every child in their nation to have a meal and roof over their heads... Then they should get their priorities straight.

It's the ones that the general public has to use grass to wipe their asses that I worry about.
