"....the comparison however is typical of the crowd for whom poverty and misery is stock in trade and a means to an end...one day perhaps these pictures will be taken in America...perhaps of the very children of such people. "

It's nto a wish. Just cold hard reality. This country is bankrupt and it's only a matter of time.
