It's about social compassion and accepting the fact that ppl like George Bush and his hoods will NEVER care for any one but them selves and their hypocritical born again Christian companions...
In the end it's about Christian values... the Christian values that neither the Pope nor George Bush monopolized.
This is all about compassion and treating thy neighbour as you would want your neighbour to treat you.
"Solidarity" is not a socialist term - it's a term that is universal and necessary for any society to move on as a society.
It's about being open and willing to accept! And to lend a little help when needed!

Very well said, Hank. I agree whole-heartedly. The reference to socialism was only in relation to the balance between left and right wing philosophy & policy. Having free enterprise, but with enough social conscience to not let it get out of hand, where the wealth is held by a disproportionate few, and the middle is left struggling, and the poor are left with little hope, not to mention that hundreds of thousands of jobs are allowed to be outsourced overseas.
Always refreshing to read your posts. Keep it up. and hard...
