Complacency can be a horrible crime. It's easy to say something isn't your problem until it ends up at your front door (or mowing your front yard). It is our problem not only because they are our neighbors and we can afford to help them, but becuase it's the right thing to do. Now we see what happens when an absurd war on drugs coupled with trade agreements that favor the ultra rich do in effecting a poor country. This is our problem. A truely democratic society is responsible for the actions of it's leaders. If we cannot control them, then they should be overthrown.

So because they break one law they don't deserve any help? Don't you think that's cruel? What if a jay walker was hit by a car? Wouldn't you call an abulance?
