[QUOTE="Brandi, post: 1936953, member: 24446"] If you don't believe it's true get off your butt and go take a tour of rural America, and by rural I don't mean Paula Valley. Hunger, real hunger does exist in America even if some don't want to admit it. The conservative crowds loves to believe that everyone has the basics in America because it fits their "if you want to succeed you will" mantra but it's just not true and the most ignorant thing ever uttered is stuff like "if they're hungry it's because they want to be or are too lazy to get a job...blah blah blah. Go spend a month touring Appalachia and then come back and try to repeat the same tired crap with a smug smile on your face. Americans shouldn't be starving or dieing due to a lack of healthcare but they do. It's gonna be hard to convince the family of a loved one who died because of a lack of healyhcare that it didn't really happen. Throughout the worlds history there have been groups of people who turned a blind eye to the truth because it doesn't feel good to acknowledge the truth. [/QUOTE]
