I volunteer on the weekends pushing pallets at a local foodbank...
Last year, they arrested large numbers of folks SELLING the free food at local flea markets...
The only people starving in America are victims of thier parents drug abuse....
I, too, volunteer weekly at our church’s food and clothing panty.
You are wrong about “the only people starving in America” being associated with drug abuse.
We interview and issue food vouchers to 20-30 households a day. It is so sad how many of them need help with food because of illness or ongoing disability. Either they are unable to work, or they may work, but the money just doesn’t stretch to cover living expenses and medical bills.
Some are deadbeats, absolutely. But there are also good people in pain out there, as there always have been, and it’s our duty to help our neighbor.
So don’t be so cynical.
That said, John Edwards is an idiot. And he’s not even a laughable idiot, a la Ron Paul.
