Do YOU want to live in a country like that? Perhaps you can afford to live in a gated community (with friendly armed guards!) so you don't have to see the death and suffering down town. Good for you!! I can afford it, too, just barely. But <<I>> would still know that the death and suffering was going on. And I refuse to live with that.
There is a thin, thin line between Laissez-faire Capitalism and heartless fascist assholism.

where on earth do you live????? its certainly not in the US and for sure not in Houston Texas.....
none of those thing exists and you darn well know it. look in your phone book. there are hundreds (pages) of listings where everything you even suggest no help is available is found in mass.
if things were that bad, its your responsibility to get up and do something about it. to ask others to solve your view of humanity in your neighborhood, in your town is not my or any other person responsibility. if a person is to lazy to help themselves or their family or unable, that person should be confined. in Texas, i can get this done in 5 minutes and you in two. report to your choice of local authorities.
since your smart enough to type, i must assume you know many communities around this country have cleaned up their neighborhoods. one man pretty much cleaned up NYC a few years back and countless participate in watches at every level, all the time.
