I think people could do more for the old and homeless people. I will be on my own and wont even bother making a dinner but at least I have a nice warm home and 2 dogs to keep me company. I feel sorry for homeless sleeping on the streets and the old because they cant look after themselves. And believe it everyone needs some to love and talk to, lonlyness is a big killer.

Isn't this a great country we live in? Repeat after me, me, me. Benjamin Franklin is my idol and I will step on and use everyone I can to collect his image. I cannot see beyond my sixty inch high defination television to see that my workers cannot pay their rent. I cannot hear their empty stomachs rumbling because my surround sound is drowning out their cries for a living wage. For the life of me I cannot understand why these lazy people keep asking for a handout, if they were truly concerned about bettering themselves when they got done working for me they would get another job and go to school to improve their education. What's that you are saying, it would take twenty two hours of each day for them to accomplish that. Not my problem, tell a compassionate conservative. Us liberals hate America and Americans.

What have you personally done? I guess that came off too strong. Congratulations for putting your money where your heart is! I have done food drives before. This year I gave phone cards,and cash to a group collecting for soldiers away from home. The soldiers at the VA hospital said phone cards are probably the most appreciated. Merry Christmas to you and your family! May the New Year bring our soldiers to victory, and back home!

Never enough. The trouble is that only a few do the most. If everyone in the world did 1% more then we would not be facing the issues we are today my friend

It is sad to say, but we never do enough for the elderly, the lonely and the homeless in this country. Our government needs to learn to help their own before they help others!

It's up to us individuals & churches. I've done my share, I believe.
Some people just talk. Cheney gave more money to Katrina Victims than all the Rich Democrats in Congress put together.
Democrats talk.

No we aren't doing enough, period. It's Christmas and all people care about is themselves. They might throw some loose change into a collection box to make themselves feel better - but is that really enough? Hell no.

What do you mean by "this country"? Yahoo Answers are international. I live in Ireland, I bought a lovely present for a small boy from a poor family this year. I feel good about it.
