How Healthcare Reform Reveals Bigger U.S. Woes

We evolved into a greedy people We did not mean to become greedy it just happened.

What we need to do is get back to the basics, I do not mean go back in time but remember where we come from and where we would like to be, The American dream has actually distracted us and confused our purpose. Most people will not admit to being greedy and would be offended if you said they was. We have 15 neighbors or so and one will Come during the holidays to gives us a holiday dinner, its not much but we could not ask for more because the guy is a very nice guy, And on a regular basis I hear he feeds children that is not even his that just lives in the neighborhood and sometimes do not get enough to eat.

I hear stories like that A lot but there in communities that are long forgotten or are now modern and it was not just one neighbor it was several neighbors, So a family did not get to much help the neighbors would take turns.

Modern Times we have Food banks, churches and missions and a host of other programs so people can get help while being humiliated which means a lot of people do not get the help they need and children learn to make a living the easiest or best way they can and it is sometimes illegal .

A lot of us do not even know our neighbors name or we call the police when they get a little noisy.

I do Know a town in Cottage Grove Oregon where they have A block party once a year that the whole town is invited to So I know some towns believe in coming together. And they have many other city activities to.

So maybe greed is not our biggest problem We just become unattached to our community.

What do you think Unattached or greedy Which sounds better?
