      Who’s it hurting? The more people we educate and bring up, the more capable at all levels our country becomes.

      We’re a country of both laws and compassion, and we’re all team human.

        unwilling to answer the questions, eh? figures.

        it’s not America’s job to save everyone. it’s a waste of our tax dollars to be compassionate.

          I come from a country that believes in second chances, taking care of your neighbors and paying it forward. That country’s America.

          If you don’t like it, you can get out.
