    By David Glenn Cox
    There is an old Firesign Theatre comedy piece, a parody of “The Price is Right,” where a woman contestant is asked, “Do you want what’s behind the door or what’s in the bag?”
    She blurts out, “I’ll take the bag! Why… why this is a bag of shit!”
    “Yes” the announcer answers, “but it’s really great shit!”

Just being born here might make you a citizen but it doesn’t make you a full participatory American, they live invisible right before our eyes

No longer in a country hostile to the tired, the poor, the huddled masses, the wretched refuse, the homeless and many others not making the grade in a white supremacist Judeo-Christian state worshiping wealth and privilege. No welcome sign is out for the unwanted poor and desperate. At best, they’re ignored to subsist on their own. At worst, they’re scorned and abused, (…)
