One of my readers of a food stamp article posted this comment anonymously:

Very interesting! I am from third world country (Russia). We have not such food stamp program. If you have no money to buy some food – just die. Our country don’t care about own citizens whose are handicapped or retired.

It’s Thanksgiving evening, my favorite holiday. I think about what I am grateful for. This post of only 49 words puts things into perspective for me tonight.

Happy Thanksgiving!
