[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are you fascinated enough to help?  There are many poor families right in our backyards who would welcome  a hand up rather than a handout.  Put your curiousity to good use.[/quote]

We donate quite a bit.  There is no way to explain my fascination without sounding horrible and I apologize for that.  Remember in Sociology 101 when you learned about people who lived differently from you? Amish, Eskimos, etc.? That's how I view the poor.

This was quite educational. [b]The media is forever saying it's poor people shopping at WalMart and eating fast food. Yet almost none of the responders do either. So who the hell is purchasing those products? [/b][/quote]
Tons of people shop at WalMart but they just don't want to admit it.
I stop at WalMart 4-5 times a year to stock up on deodorant, razor blades, Tide, Downy, Swiffer refills, household cleaners, q-tips, Listerine, sunscreen, band-aids, soap and the list goes on and on. I don't buy clothes or furniture there but they have the lowest prices on everyday items such as paper towels and toilet paper. On the last trip I did buy DD a package of white cotton ankle socks (gasp!!) to wear to camp... adding insult to injury, she will wear them to Sidwell in the fall. :)
WalMart is like pornography, they sure do sell a lot of it considering no one says they're buying it!! [/quote]
