I just saw a sad news report of a charitable agency who is trying to raise money for food for the elderly. More and more elderly on Social Security are opting to eat cat food because it is so much more cheaper to buy than human food.
The next segment of the news was the candidtates were polled to see how they feel about providing the money for expanding space exploration to send another man to the moon and a manned mission to Mars. All are in favor exept Obama who would put a hold on NASA and use the money for human needs here on earth.
People are losing their homes, living in the streets, living with no health insurance, dying of diseases for lack of research for the cures, can't afford medications or health care and have to make a choice between food and medicine, crime runs rampant due to lack of city funds to hire more police or build more prisons as criminals are released to make victims of innocent people over and over again, while money is spent on going to the moon and Mars.
What does that tell you about the pitiful human condition of the world and the misplaced priorities of it's leaders?
