Yep.  I guess the new way to be "Discordian" is to become some heartless fucking Ayn Rand fan.

You come out here, and try scooping one of these bastards into a bag once or twice a month, then tell me how rosy it all is.

Serious Rog? You really have to do that?
- So the New World Order does not actually exist?
- Oh it exists, and how!
Ask the slaves whose labour built the White House;
Ask the slaves of today tied down to sweatshops and brothels to escape hunger;
Ask most women, second class citizens, in a pervasive rape culture;
Ask the non-human creatures who inhabit the planet:
whales, bears, frogs, tuna, bees, slaughtered farm animals;
Ask the natives of the Americas and Australia on whose land
you live today, on whose graves your factories, farms and neighbourhoods stand;
ask any of them this, ask them if the New World Order is true;
they'll tell you plainly: the New World Order... is you!

You can't defeat poverty.  Somebody will always find a way to either fuck himself out of everything or fuck somebody else out of everything.  Is it happy?  No, but neither is most of the shit that goes on in the jungle when there aren't even humans around to blame it on.

There are homeless people sleeping in the dirt in places where the richest person they have to be jealous of is probably wishing he had a dumpster outside Jack in the Box to scrounge from.

I'm sure dealing with a few corpses a month is brain-gouging work.  Now, multiply by 50, and you're talking weekend job for a kid in Zambia who would be a paperboy in the US.

Corpses don't get up by themselves (They should, but they don't).  Once the coroner's assistant declares the person dead, we scoop him/her up, bag 'em, and put 'em in the van.

Privately run ambulances don't come for dead homeless meth heads.

so, because things are worse in shit-ridden hellholes overseas, that is a reason to turn your back here?

See number 2.

Oh, and you try policing up a dead person after he's been in the sun for a couple of  days.  Yeah, it's pretty brain-gouging.  Might do you some good.  Cut some of the crust off that moral outrage you have against these poor bastards.

We tried foisting it off on the coroners, but they're doctors, and "don't have to deal with stiffs."

Yeah, struck me as odd, too.

you're blowing this shit way out of proportion.

i'm not insulting the poor. for fuck's sake, i am poor, but most standards in this country. i'm not blaming their condition on their own idiocy or bad judgment, because i don't know them and can't make that assumption.

but shit is relatively and comparatively so good in the US that real, honest poverty like you're talking about isn't average.  in fact, even among the poor, a homeless man dying on the street with no help of any kind is cause for sympathy here.  somewhere else, it's just another corpse. no big deal.  am i suggesting we turn our backs to it? no, because then it would be here like it is there.

but we can't rely on Big Brother to come through with the goods, because there are strings attached to those goods that i, personally, would rather not be dangled from.

1.  There is no such thing as honest poverty.  Poverty is a thief.

2.  Then don't take the goods.  But don't try to decide for others.
