1. I think of the phrase "the least of these"...

....people who are invisible, who have no resources. So many fall through the cracks.

And then I see an episode of BBC's CALL THE MIDWIFE where the British system sends nurses 'round to care for people and find them help of all kinds, and check on them to ensure the best outcome. Socialized medicine.

Where's our Mother Theresa, as an example?

Here I am, in a warm apartment with plenty of food and medicine and clothing. Running hot water. Electricity. I'm not rich, by any means. But I -- or any of us -- could be just as desperate as this man.

Tax the rich. Tax wealth. Discourage rampant consumerism. Let's open our eyes and see the needs. And help, as we can.

Just be like Jimmy Carter. Good-hearted, and kind.
