Livre d'Or

This. I happen to know that the person I was arguing with about prayer vs donation is at least as well-off as I am.

And if you look at who is tweeting a lot of the twitter trending topics it quickly becomes apparent that there are a lot of people on twitter with a lot less privilege than either he or I have got and a lot less $ tends to go along with that.

Our economy is pretty bad right now and we have a fairly sociopathic corporate class arguing for protectionism and isolationism whereas most of the people who are on twitter (and I include myself and my friend in that, given that we are fairly well off but have both been badly affected by the economy at current) are facing having to do a lot more with less due to the way money and resources are flowing in this culture right now. There's a certain amount of frustration in knowing that a lot of the people who could really help will not choose to do so and wanting to help but not being able to. Prayer can ease that.
