Sounds like an indictment, a trial and a verdict that declares everyone guilty.
All that’s missing is the sentence.
IMHO
It is.
While I do take exception to some of these *missions trips* that people fund raise for, there are some that I know that DO go to places like Cuba, Dominican Republic, and Puerto Rico.
And these people are not engaged in tanning, but building Schools, churches, health clinics, in out lying areas that are beyond destitute.
There's not a poor person in this country who doesn't have access to all kinds of government sponsored social services, free food, free healthcare, free education, free cell phones, free transportation to said services, etc....
What is *poor* in this country, is wealth beyond the means of most of the world.
The article is starting with the false premise that these people who do short term missions trips are in it just for the vacation.
It's a dishonest portrayal and a slap in the face of those who go there and work hard to help others.
Agreed.
