There's an irony here right. We tend to think of soup kitchens in large urban areas because that's where the poor live. Not so. There's a lot of hungry people out there.

Sixty-five thousand meals have been served to Glens Falls neediest people at The Open Door since the soup kitchen first opened. Nearly 20 years later, the executive director says the operation is in a tight spot.

Where are all the so called rich compassionate conservatives that endlessly blovate and lecture the rest of us about how charity will take care of the poor if we do as they want and end all Gov't entitlements and social safety net programs. Yea right. The truth is proportionally the rich actually contribute less to charity then everyone else. They wouldn't want to be seen encouraging bad behavior now would they? They have no problem however with entitlement programs for themselves, especially when they're investments go south. Their the 1st in line to the Gov't with their hands out under those circumstances. The one thing the rich universally hate though are small time losers.
How do you explain it. The country is established to praise materialistic accumulation. The people with the biggest heaps are the most praiseworthy. The people below are bad the people above are good.
One thing about this soup kitchen that really strikes me is how great poverty is in this country. The numbers are huge.
The poor are invisible. With poverty or unemployment come shame.
