"...dogs of war"



I just read from "Forbes" how one of Trumps sons' funneled Cancer Charity funds into his personal accounts. He did it legal, but he did it because he could. I'm reluctant to have bigotry against a whole class. Perhaps it's more a moral sense of exasperation. The very wealthy some of them are cut off from their humanity. In the same way that desperation makes the poor self destructive excess wealth seems to do the same thing.

The wealthy have the means to heal themselves of destructive inclinations...the poor have social services which reluctantly barely feeds them.
Of course not all the poor, and not all the well off are destructive, but many are. The current irrational materialists values enforce this situation. We live with a kind of national cultural undiagnosed metal illness. It's very much like what Malcom X said about racism. To paraphrase..."Racism is a form if Insanity,...it makes it's perpetrators, and it's victims both insane". As does wealth, and poverty.
I'm just looking at our present national situation from a metal health angle. We're all living in a republic with a vast undiagnosed form of mass insanity. This is clearly what it looks like if you stand back. One that not only permits a gigantic disparity in the means of basic survival,...but encourages it. Rewards it.
