Why?
Someone on the radio said the other day that X number of people are suffering from malnutrition, don't have enough to eat, are "food insecure." We hear these numbers all the time.
If we can count them, why can't we feed them? If we can take their pictures, why can't we give them something to eat?
Is the American population so narcissistic that it doesn't know these numbers? This is a matter of will and choice, not a matter of knowledge.
I have decided that the only charities/nonprofits that matter, that are worth supporting, are the ones that are providing basic human needs--food, clean water, vaccines, and shelter--in Christ's name, or at least not in opposition to Christian values. The arts, education for other Americans, paying the light bill at church, fighting drunk drivers, helping cure diseases--are great, but not my passion. When so many people live in squalor, I can't justify giving money to stop some idiot from getting drunk and hurting people. That is his stupid choice.
