@Facile1's last point, well taken - as it always appears trailer parks are tornado magnets. Though perhaps poorness is really the result of suffering in all its manifestations, given how many men of means and ease have ended up down paths of self-destruction by their ingratitude/discontent and ultimate loss of the steady habits instilled by faith/love. The world is a valley of tears for most really, witha good portion of it caused by human selfishness and greed at the expense of others and finally oneselves (an image of Citizen Cane comes to mind, and the true meaning of Rosebud). A special thanks to Prof. Esolen for these most remarkable articles - so very appreciated (and to my Augustinian Uncle who forwarded them to me). - TomG2
