Harriet, government can't fix this problem, only God can, and, only if the people want it changed.
So give up now before you waste more government money.
If we were to believe you the government could not fix any problem.
ANd since the government is or ought to be, we the people, then you are basically saying, we can't do anything about anything.
For all we know God never acted without the help of some human somehow.
So I guess you're basically saying, I won't do anything to change it, my neighbors won't do anything, but some supreme power, might. Let's pray for it.
(Please note that praying is already doing a thing, I suggest if you REALLY believe in God you don't even pray, that would put pressure on God).
jokes aside,
I'm starting my own blog.
Don't know if I'll keep up posting much, but I suppose it's time for me to stop bothering you anyhow and it has not been very productive anyhow.

oops, ian illich is not a latin american priest.
here's the bio
Ivan Illich was born in Vienna in 1926. He studied theology and philosophy at the Gregorian University in Rome and obtained a Ph.D. in history at the University of Salzburg. He came to the United States in 1951, where he served as assistant pastor in an Irish-Puerto Rican parish in New York City. From 1956 to 1960 he was assigned as vice-rector to the Catholic University of Puerto Rico, where he organized an intensive training center for American priests in Latin American culture. Illich was a co-founder of the widely known and controversial Center for Intercultural Documentation (CIDOC) in Cuernavaca, Mexico, and since 1964 he has directed research seminars on "Institutional Alternatives in a Technological Society," with special focus on Latin America. Ivan Illich's writings have appeared in The New York Review, The Saturday Review, Esprit, Kuvsbuch, Siempre, America, Commonweal, Epreuves, and Tern PS Modernes.
