Most people are decent, independent of age. The world hasn't changed,
people are still the same. |

There are more than people might think, especially in America. The son
of a couple from church went to some poor country in South America. Not
a short term mission trip, but for many months. Building stuff, helping
people, living among them. AFAIR he said the fanciest meals out there
consisted of fried chicken feet.

I can't help but wonder what happened to the rest of the chicken, given that
the feet usually start out attached to it and all... :-)
It's good to hear these examples of people working so charitably these days. |

Charity is alive and well it just does not make the news. Here in our
small town there are 2 food banks. One church works a deal with a
dentist and a eye doctor to provide free dental and eye care. A group my
wife is active in sews blankets for premature babies and for soldiers.
I think most of the churches run day care centers.
True charity just does not make as much news as some bureaucrat
pounding his or her chest claiming what a great job they are [not] doing.

Ain't that the truth! The best food bank here is the St. Mary's Food
Bank Alliance, run by the Catholics... my primary charity.

There is the usual digital divide in those countries: 1-2% super rich
(or in leftist countries those who are more equal than the others), then
98% dirt-poor, and no real middle class. All the fine meats go to the
upscale folks, the poor can only buy what's left and sometimes only once
a week or so.

In bible-based churches that is because the bible says that this is
exactly the modus operandi. Serve quietly and do not boast about it.

_You_ probably eat them for dinner. Think about _that_ the next time you

Nah, KFC gets the rest of the chicken. The South Americans got first
dibs on those chickens and they took the feet for a reason. |
