Health Care. Why is it so hard to care for everyone? I get the political tangle, but it does honestly seem like petulant pre-nap kids in a sandbox. I get that it costs money, but healthy happy people are far better defense than more bombs and deployments. I get that people with money and power have always felt threatened or felt entitled in relationship to the poor and the powerless, but that has seldom helped the world be a better place for all...just a better place for the wealthy and powerful.
I still think that "love your neighbor thing" is important. I still think that whatever you do to the poor, the other, the least of these determines your destiny and your character. I still think justice is important, caring for those who are less able to care for themselves. And I believe that God loves us all.
