The Obscene Morbidly Rich do not measure their wealth
by how much they have, the Measure is
the disparity between Them and the Poor.

And to the measure, add degrees of cruelty.
Judging by results, the greater the measure
the greater the pleasure.

& whose philosophy consists in holding humanity in contempt,
is like administering medicine to the dead,
or endeavoring to convert an atheist by scripture.”

Given the discussion about food banks and hunger in the United States, it’s worth noting Ottawa Public Health reports that 25% of families faced food insecurity in 2024. On average it costs $1180 (CAD) to feed a family of four.
ottawa.citynews.ca/2025/11/02/h...?
Healthy eating for family of 4 costs $1,180/month, many Ottawaans cannot afford it
Food insecurity continues to rise in Ottawa and across the country as wages do not meet the costs of basic needs.

Enjoyed a course by Prof Harl “The Ottoman Empire” Great Courses & he ended anecdotally“ a grad student asked question "what was the legacy of the French Revolution compared?" & Prof Harl replied “too early to know”.
The Ottoman Empire had great influence & legacy on the world.

It's not a level playing field btw Intelligence and Stupidity.
It's not fair. Stupidity is masked & armed.

A reflection from a spoken Native American saying their religion is not Faith Based but Real, you can feel it, taste it, breathing the air, drinking clean water, seeing the sun, feeling & smelling the earth, living plants & animals in harmony - living, loving, sharing
