Without a mixed society, structured much along the lines of a small town, there's not much future for anyone. Constant out-migration and segregation by economic class helps no one. Throwing government money at a problem, coming in and volunteering on weekends, funding nonprofits to minister to "those people" but then leave before dark--these things are merely gestures, band-aids on a sucking chest wound. We have to live together round the clock to ensure that the rising tide lifts all boats.Tim Ferrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05017729059380972892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8098425.post-63259648794197060632008-01-06T22:43:00.000-05:002008-01-06T22:43:00.000-05:00"But, as long as people run from neighborhoods ins..."But, as long as people run from neighborhoods instead of working with and respecting the people in them (it's not just about fixing housing stock, people) better, we will continue to get what we get."<BR/><BR/>I so agree with that Derek. As a society we have been taught to run, throw away, instead of roll up our sleeves. Makes me mad too George.

That event shouldn't have happened but we should really get into the why and how people could be brought to do that, not just the fact that it happened.derekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02200256256166635283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8098425.post-82440193530432798402008-01-05T12:28:00.000-05:002008-01-05T12:28:00.000-05:00I think it's important to note that the verses pri...I think it's important to note that the verses <A HREF="http://snurl.com/1wnpj" REL="nofollow">prior to that</A> are admonition to treat others gently, carry one another's burdens, and testing our own actions.George Nemethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11594505985324223494noreply@blogger.com
