Forcing myself to write something so I'm gonna bump this thread.
Spent some time with the woman walking around skid row over in downtown Los Angeles. I live around some pretty intense poverty here in Vegas but the destitution in that area easily dwarfs it. It seems to be one of those "problems" that's so hard to solve it discourages you from even wanting to try. Bearing witness to so much suffering is pretty surreal to be honest, makes me appreciate everything I have, materially and mentally. I wonder what's in the head of those people you walk by in the street. How close we are to being right in that position if your sanity were to ever become compromised.
The night before our skid row excursion I was finally able to find and try some George T. Stagg bourbon, a bottle worth about 1,500 dollarydoos or so. Crazy how those two things co-exist side by side, makes it very hard to take any social institutions very seriously.
Evolution is a process of trial and error.
In a garden where seeds are spilled, some will thrive while some will be incapable of any growth or survival.
The best that any society can do is allow individuals to buoyantly float at the level that their natural abilities allow them to stay at in a stable fashion. Jesus himself said that the poor will always be with us.
How was the bourbon? I can't imagine spending more than $200 on a bottle of anything.
