“In America, you are not required to offer food to the hungry or shelter the homeless. There is no ordinance forcing you to visit the lonely, or comfort the infirmed. No where in the Constitution does it say you have to provide clothing to the poor.

But when you do, you give meaning and provide soul to the concept of community...and develop a sense of purpose to something greater than one's self.”
