It has been reported that charitable giving is lower than during the great depresion. Why? We are still the richest country in the world. Is it as simple as saying it's the price of gas. Or is it our "ME" attitude. We still buy $3 mochas and $1.5 water in a plastic bottle. We all have cell phones, at a price. IPODS, at a price. Dish TV at a price. Year round sports, at a price. If we the people of this great nation are unwilling to help those less fortunite than us. God help us. What goes around comes around.
