a crisis of unparalleled distress on forty millions of people, who have natural
resources to feed, clothe and shelter the whole human race.

you walk down the street and see someone in a box, you have a choice. That person
is either the other and you're fearful of them, or that person is an extension
of your family.

Sarandon If
you walk down the street and see someone in a box, you have a choice. That person
is either the other and you're fearful of them, or that person is an extension
of your family. And that makes you at home in that world and not fearful. So really

Sometimes
the lack of substantive freedoms relates directly to economic poverty, which robs
people of the freedom to satisfy hunger; or to achieve sufficient nutrition, or
to obtain remedies for treatable illnesses or the opportunity to be adequatley
clothed or sheltered, or to enjoy clean water or sanitary facilities.

Sometimes the lack
of substantive freedoms relates directly to economic poverty, which robs people
of the freedom to satisfy hunger; or to achieve sufficient nutrition, or to obtain
remedies for treatable illnesses or the opportunity to be adequatley clothed or
sheltered, or to enjoy clean water or sanitary facilities. In other cases, the
unfreedom links closely to the lack of public facilities and social care, such
as the absence of epidemiological programs, or of organized arrangements for the
health care or educational facilities, or of effective insititutions for the maintenance
of local peace and order. In still other cases, the violation of freedom results
directly from a denial of political and civil liberties by authoritarian regimes
and from imposed restrictions on the freedom to participate in the social, political
and economic life of the community.
-- Amartya
Sen
Somewhere
near you, somebody right now is trying to help the indigent and poor - providing
