29. An interesting form of disenfranchisement that.
Those hungry were offered small money for their farms and became
disenfranchised poor by the "solution". We don't starve in modern
poverty, rather we don't vote. We don't live very long. We have
no home and no safety for our person... that when you accept the
total poverty of homelessness, your very body is violated without
sanctuary anywhere... human rubbish.

I'd say rather, that extreme poverty is closer to slavery in its
attributes, more so than terrorism. It is not "terror" as much as
hopelessness and apathy.

Throw a 4 month old baby on the street and watch it die. That is
inhumane. Do it to an 80 year old woman and it kills her off as
well. Put her in 2 jobs until she dies, so at least she can serve
fast food to the master. Maybe you can pack her off in to a bus and
have her pick apples until she dies.

When your through with her, dump her on the street. Not terror, but
an inhumanity of disgusting proportions.
