Carter Returns Nobel Peace Prize
Guess you've never heard of Steve Wynn. Or Kirk Kekorian. Or Donald Trump. The most interesting thing about the Indian casinos is that they're increasingly owned by Asian (mostly Malaysian) owners/investors and then they pay the tribes a fee. I just read about that last week in the NYTimes and on Bloomberg. Go ahead and put the guilt spin on billionaires, both American and Malaysian.

Christian charities and organizations provide all sorts of services.The single mothers of three getting quarter of a million dollar houses from a self-described "Christian" organization.
Why would you assume guilt trips? Why not just a concern for humanity in general borne of his caring about people who are less fortunate, having grown up during the Depression and seen the level of poverty he did in the Deep South? If you'd ever bothered to do anything other than criticize him, you could easily find out he actually cares. You had ancestors who were no doubt slave owners, especially if some of them were among the first to land on Plymouth. I did, too. So does a quarter of America. Your comments, as is so frequently the case, don't make sense.Carter's peanut farm is inherited from his grandparents who were among the largest slaveholding families in Georgia, etc. I may be mistaken, but it looks to me a bit like there's some guilt trips happening.birdgirl73 Reviewed by birdgirl73 on .
