I agree that there is a problem. And it's a big problem. But it's not a problem that's happened only within the last five years. And the response to the problem is that people are doing more to help other people. I don't think that the problem has mushroomed, only that the response is grown. No one wants to see people in need and most decent people can see past the "poverty porn" that's so prevalent on our TVs. I believe that as the economy improves so those in dire need will reduce, with more jobs and a higher standard of living.

Kizzy has suggested I am badgering you. I hope you don't feel like that as it obviously isn't my intention.
