I sometimes feel that way when I see people begging on the side of the street by the stop light and I think, some people are real hobos and some people are not you can sometimes tell.. and then I feel bad as I never have cash on hand (I'm 'miss debit card) and forget to have a little sack lunch or something to give away..it does bother me seeing people so down on their luck..<BR/><BR/>Ingrid<BR/>btw..awesome paintings my dear artiste extraordinaire!!Ingridhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15543677729320023767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8764563741359701027.post-86266305463494290172008-11-01T16:07:00.000-07:002008-11-01T16:07:00.000-07:00gfid - It's mutual, my friend.gfid - It's mutual, my friend.susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16747450215034568033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8764563741359701027.post-67068380352414739942008-10-31T20:54:00.000-07:002008-10-31T20:54:00.000-07:00we truly are our brothers' keepers, even if indire...we truly are our brothers' keepers, even if indirectly. and nothing we do (or neglect to do) has no effect on others. i love your ability to see the importance of the little details of life, and at the same time have an eye on the big issues.gfidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08452490194253665370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8764563741359701027.post-42941772183598185232008-10-26T10:18:00.000-07:002008-10-26T10:18:00.000-07:00randal - Ain't it the truth?lindsay - Thanks for a...randal - Ain't it the truth?<BR/><BR/>lindsay - Thanks for another thoughtful comment. Unfortunately, IMF and World Bank rules forced developing countries to grow and sell commodities like coffee, cut flowers, sugar etc. to sell to the international markets rather than use their land more wisely in the production of food for local consumption. It's a serious problem that's led to deforestation, pollution and starvation in those countries and hasn't brought about a fair distribution of necessities to the world at large.susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16747450215034568033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8764563741359701027.post-33317697725061080542008-10-25T22:46:00.000-07:002008-10-25T22:46:00.000-07:00I think it’s indeed important to be mindfall of ou...I think it’s indeed important to be mindfall of our actions within in our own little village. But it's also possible for those actions to spill over onto to the global village. <BR/><BR/>Countries engaged on subsidising agriculture give protection and advantage to producers at home(taxpayer funded) at the expense of poorer developing countries who face ruin and starvation from devalued exports prices. <BR/>Best wisheslindsaylobehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16774918551798647046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8764563741359701027.post-88154803216093221272008-10-25T11:08:00.000-07:002008-10-25T11:08:00.000-07:00Down with the EC!Down with the EC!Randal Graveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08728992897551848531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8764563741359701027.post-80043706136512583242008-10-24T23:24:00.000-07:002008-10-24T23:24:00.000-07:00lbr - 'Two things are infinite: the universe and h...lbr - 'Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the the universe.' a favorite quote by Einstein that seems appropriatesusanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16747450215034568033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8764563741359701027.post-61093532609260233752008-10-24T18:20:00.000-07:002008-10-24T18:20:00.000-07:00Love that story.
