This was in 1992. I like how George’s example, that we only help one another after a flood, no longer even applies in the US, as you have people arguing some people from some places shouldn’t be helped even after a natural disaster.

    I had an aunt who told me as a small child not to feel bad or give a dollar to homeless people because they’re “bad people who deserve to starve.”

    holy shit. that makes my relatives callous indifference look outright benign.

    Was she hurt by a hobo as a child? fuck… what does it take to judge people like that.
