What is wrong with America?

What is wrong with America? Why do we give thing away to people who can clearly afford them and allow people, better yet.. children, to go with out? Have we become so self centered on ourselves, our own family, and the dollar that we let others suffer?

I think the answer to the questions are that we have become self-centered and worried about money! We take movies stars, singers, models, and most any public figure and turn them into super humans. They are NOT super humans. They are just like you and me. They wake up and have to brush their own teeth and put their pants on the same way we do! They much pick up the cup with drink in it to get it to their lips.

Stop giving things to people who can afford to pay for them, for starters. Just listen to your local radio stations and you hear of plastic surgery, loaner cars (BMW's and the like,) weight loss plans, etc. Help out those children who have nothing or very little. Maybe they need a car to get back and forth to a doctors appointment. Maybe they need the new clothes because the ones they have will not be warm enough for winter.

What about the plastic surgery and why might a child need that? That one is easy to answer! Maybe they were born with a cleft pallet, or some type of facial abnormality, or any other body abnormality that can be fixed. Help them! They cannot help themselves, they are to young. Think about it!

We need to go back to the ways of neighbor helping neighbor. Those times we easier and more simple. I am not saying to give up the wonderful gift of technology. What I am saying, is just because our civilization advances, does not mean our character has to decrease!
