  5. Thanks, Charlotte. I like your phrase 'the human herd'. Says it all!

  6. That's lovely, Fran. Says it all, really. In this week's Times there was a two-page spread of the terrible famine, followed by a page devoted to the woman (who earns millions herself) who "needs" $65,000 dollars a month in her divorce settlement for chauffeurs for her one child, manicures, pedicures, clothes...It makes you weep.

  7. Yes... progress is moot point when people are still starving due to abject poverty.
