It is eloquent without being "preachy" and I understand only to a small degree the message you are sending. When we were in a "depression" (and we may still be), I thought, "Are you kidding me? This is a depression? Where are the soup lines?" I mean, sure, I no longer have the high paying job I had at L.L. Bean (since I walked out one day disgusted with their corporate agenda), and it took me a few tries before I found a job that made a little less than a living wage so I took on a cleaning job to supplement my income, but somehow many of us (and I do not mean those that have had their houses foreclosed on or are currently homeless) still have cell phones and cable and internet and I feel as though the sacrifices we are having to make are ridiculously minor compared to what happens in third world countries. Maybe we are afraid if we acknowledge it, we may have to do something about it.Ellenannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14300195444685165453noreply@blogger.com
