It has become fashionable for many of the more affluent to treat the poor as welfare parasites worthy of their station in life, while themselves seeking to pay less taxes so as to become even richer.  

Some would even quote some version of Jesus’ statement about the poor always being with you, as some sort of righteous justification for their heartlessness.

Seven years ago (March, 2010) Larry spent several days among the poor in coastal Colombia, South America.  He returned with a different attitude about the poor.

Larry personally watched the televised Senate proceedings in June 1973, as former White House counsel John Dean revealed the methodology of the Watergate cover-up.

In this blogpost, he recalls the strange use of a word which clearly gives insight to the current president’s actions, including his need to conduct post-election campaign rallies.

Hispanics often celebrate Saint Valentine’s Day as a Day of Love and Friendship. How ironic is the February 14, 2017 Charlotte Observer headline. A former supporter of George W. Bush’s compassionate conservatism, Larry knows that a nation of laws must be a nation of compassionate law.
