As a futurist I always thought poverty was terminal-- but it isn't; the poor we will always have among us.

you dont believe me now but you will in...oh ...50 years, if you are alive still.

and fifty years IS forever. it might as well be.

Alan,

We will always have "the poor" among us, because poverty is both psychological and cultural, but the better we all do, the better chance we have of changing the definition of poverty even further.

The poor today still live sad, confusing, powerless, lonely lives, because that's what it means to be poor (economics don't really enter into it, I don't think). The difference is that today they eat better, have access to more and better information and entertainment, and are more mobile.
