A.I.G. Planning Huge Bonuses After $170 Billion Bailout

and contrast…

More than a year ago, a handful of homeless people staked out the site on the northern edge of downtown Sacramento. Now there are more than 100 tents and anywhere between 300 to 400 people living without running water or sanitation. Their only protection from the elements is nylon tents and plastic tarps.

In a rational society, how can we accept this? How can anyone look at this disparity and call it just? Where is our outrage? Where is our compassion? Where is our sense of community? We can help each other, we are a part of the change we want to see in the world. It starts with us. Get involved.
