the true worth of compassion is shown by deeds, not by words. excuse me for being skeptical when history has shown how false a politician's words can be and usually are. i don't consider theatrics to be proof of a politicians worth and, until the democrats can show a workable plan to ease the suffering of the poor, i will consider these sob stories nothing more than theatrics. to be able to point out the ills of the world is not a good enough reason to be elected to high office, any fool with two eyes can do that. problems are not solved by pity.

in case you wish to aim more insults in my direction, you might try pointing your arrows at something besides my intelligence. i'm relatively secure in that area. i do have vulnerabilities in the area of my masculinity though, give that a try next time.:hippy:
