Pavel posted an interesting quote here at What the dirty...:"The first impulse toward a sense of justice may be pity for someone, but ultimately the feeling of justice is love for the truth. In life's difficult cases, however, a person who dispenses with pity may become so confused in the search for a formula to attain the good that he reaches the most ruthless and unjust conclusions." - Fazil Iskander (from: Remaking Russia: Voices From Within)
Some of you may remember my thoughts on the capitalism vs. socialism debate. I like what sarah gingrich said in her comments on this post. I like the term, "small obediences." I wonder if we would all give away half of each of our own loaves of bread whether we could solve the hunger in the world - literally and figuratively...

Thanks Dale for tackling this a bit as I am reading some of this. The thoughts running in my mind are can we really be social (ie. the church of acts) in the west? I think many sincerly try and do to some degree. So are we selling out? To harsh of a word perhaps. I apreciate you trying to think this through with me.
