“We have the capacity to feed ourselves several times over, but we are daily haunted by the spectacle of the gaunt dregs of humanity shuffling along in endless queues, with bowls to collect what the charity of the world has provided, too little too late. When will we learn, when will the people of the world get up and say, Enough is enough. God created us for fellowship. God created us so that we should form the human family, existing together because we were made for one another. We are not made for an exclusive self-sufficiency but for interdependence, and we break the law of our being at our peril.”—Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Nobel Peace Prize Lecture 1984

    And now in the US we not only stop feeding the world we stop feeding the most vulnerable children in the US . Does congress realize when you sin against humanity you sin against God?

      The GOP is in lockstep with Der Fuhrer and have smothered any moral scruples they might have once had a long, long time ago.

    I have always liked Bishop Tutu. When I went to Atlanta in 1999 – my friends lived on the same street that Bishop Tutu lived on [the house was provided to him for his usage whenever he visited Atlanta]. Every time I walked by that house I would wave – even though I knew he wasn’t there.
