Grasping freedom for the first time, the bird sat on the wire, wishing his family could see the majestic sight. His family had all been killed off by monsters, craving the touch of a bird's feather. He sat there, alone, taking in his last breath before his demise. His limp body fell to the ground with a small thump. The bird's body lay on the cold concrete, as snow fell upon the small body of the bird. His name was Stewart.

This photo made me very uncomfortable. Judgement between the "Haves" and the "Have Nots". One would very much appreciate what the other has.

That is sad. And I've seen it a number of times in real life. Third world street urchin staring at the people who 'have'. At least this kid has some bread. On one trip to PI I hired a street urchin to carry my stuff and also took him on base and we got fried chicken and watched ET at the base movie theater. It wasn't much but you'd think he'd found the W***y Wonka golden ticket. EDIT: Silly BP thinks "WILL - E" can only be a naughty word.

I'm not sure that the little girl didn't hand the little boy her pretzel. The kid next to her has one in his/her hand. If she did, therein lies the beauty.

The contrast here. And the guy's arm looking like it's pushing the stroller away... This is the truth everyone; you can choose to not face it, but ignoring it completely is impossible. Let your kids see the truth when they are ready.

If everyone watching said a prayer about this, we can literally change the world. We should have changed this by now. More than money, we ALL need to make a collective DECISION. NO MORE POVERTY. Quantum physics has shown (Google the experiments) that what we focus on, changes. We can collectively FOCUS on bringing a better world into our VISION. Ah Yah Ah.
