Thanks, Kay. Those of us with cars and food keep ourselves cut off from the poor, the homeless, the mentally ill (all those worlds right around the block in our own country). And, although we are here with Dr. Richardson, reading and thinking and working every day to make some substantial empathy-driven connection to the rest of the world, I think even the best among us can find it difficult. As Americans, we just aren't trained to do that. I'm sure the human condition dictates a certain amount of that closed-tribe mentality but America seems to me to be an extreme case. President Biden has his flaws but for the most part he really appears to have that natural instinct for compassion. He is certainly the man for this hour.
