Ya. I knew I'd hear about that. What I was implying was that the Palestinians could extend their territories into what is now Israel after the Israelis occupied Mexico. Very similar climate by the way and all that oil.

As in any big city,this gun fighting is mostly,mostly, limited to the blighted neighborhoods. The people who need their guns the most,unfortunately have a moron as a mayor. So they take their life in their own hands by simply going to the neighborhood grocery store.

The USA does not have the third highest murder rate in the world. Our current rate is 5.2/100,000 and there are many countries that are much higher. Look here:

Chicago is not even in the top ten for homicides. It is just taking its turn for the brunt of media hype, especilaly the Chicago Tribune, which has a headline every Monday about shootings. The other lazy idiots pick up the headline.

95% of Americans have no clue what so ever what poverty looks like.

"Poor" Americans have 3 hots and a cot, cable, cell phones.
Disability checks, EBT Debit cards for food, free health care.

I met a lovely older lady, a dear heart of a woman on a business trip. My partner and I were walking through a market in a small Korean town. From a distance we saw a cart move and stop, move and stop. With nothing obvious moving it. As we made our way through the market we saw that the cart was being moved buy an older lady with no legs below the knee. What remained of her legs were wrapped in what I suppose were truck inner tubes. She would push the cart, set the brake and haul herself up to the cart.
She greeted us like long lost sons when we walked up to her. She had Korean handicrafts and trinkets for sale.
She had such a spirit, such a love for people I was more than a little surprised considering her circumstances. The difficulty she faced in simply moving a few feet at a time.
My partner and I bought what must have been a couple hundred US dollars worth of this and that. We also spread the word that anyone going to Chongu, should visit the market and pick up a trinket or two. ( when on the road we picked up a little something for the travel coordinator who had a nightmare of a job keeping our herd of engineers going to the right place at the right time).

With the "safety net" we have in America such a life is not necessary, we spend a BILLION dollars a day for those that are infirmed, folks that have the capability to work, but lack the desire.

Seems to me America was a tougher , more self reliant, robust nation in times gone by.
