Care to elaborate? Does this statement come from personal experience? I'm not claiming to have all the answers nor do I have extensive first-hand experience trying to help people in extreme need. I'd be interesting in hearing why you think this and/or your perspective on equality (if you think such a thing exists).

I understand that some people in needy situations are "takers" who really don't care to help themselves. However, I find that to be a poor excuse to abandon for people who really want to contribute to society and their community. I'm not really sure what a realistic solution is yet, but I'm not willing to throw in the towel on humanity quite yet either. Maybe I'm just a dreamer...
