When a family member first saw this presentation he askedme “Why are you showing this?”

You may not have noticed this about me but I’m just like an‘old Jewish Gentleman’ and I often answer a question with aquestion: “Why not?” says I “Am I making fun of or laughing atanyone? Or am I showing how the vast majority of people inthe country have to live? And tell me, what’s wrong withthat?”

I’m still waiting for the answer to those questions. Am I being“disrespectful” or something? What’s wrong with showing thetruth? Please tell us what YOU think!
