The United Nations has an important founding document: the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. All member nations have signed it.
In a first world urban environment, it is critical that there be an URBAN DECLARATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS. Many homeless people in cities lack basic needs: trash disposal containers so they don't have to sleep surrounded by garbage; safe, pure drinking water from water stations with
filler spouts; finally, free use of toilets in public areas.
Homeless people should be entitled to the dignity that is our right as humans. In cities, we have the absolute ability to afford them that dignity with toilets, water and garbage disposal. We should also provide mobile bathrooms so they can shower, shampoo their hair and better attend to their hygiene.
If we have the technology to create automobiles that drive themselves, certainly we can prioritize these three or four basics for humans in an urban society. It is healthier for our environment, for those of us fortunate to have homes, and for our homeless brothers and sisters.

Donald Trump - 95,000 Words, Many Of Them Are Ominous, From Donald Trump
If there is anything that undermines the very principles America stands for it's intolerance and bigotry. Like a child who
immaturely believes that even bad attention is better than no attention at all, Mr. Trump is running
a desperately underwhelming campaign. His campaign caters to the frustrated, often uneducated
and frightened citizens who are "mad as hell and don't want to take it anymore". He is smart
enough to know better, but he says what he thinks will appeal to a certain group of voters.
Hitler appealed to the same disenchanted souls before World War II...

Xenophobia & Terrorism/Compassion & Understanding
It is unfortunate so many brothers and sisters of our world community have just recently realized the horrors of terrorism after the brutal violence in Paris.
Where have they been lately? Have they been placing the flag colors of Nigeria over their faces when brutal acts of the Islamic terrorists abducted 200 schoolgirls? How about when over 100,000 people in that country had to flee their homes? The Haram claims they are the African branch of ISIS. The amount of violence the French have endured in these last few days is a conservative week of violence in Nigeria. Nigeria, the fastest growing and largest economy in Africa. Its wealthy class is growing faster than our's in the US. Nigeria, the holder of the world's 5th largest oil reserves.
Do we only value the loss of life and hardship of people who are white?
As we threaten to close our borders to Syrian refugees, what are we doing to secure our borders to American terrorists, Neo Nazi's worldwide, the Stormfront and followers in Europe of David Duke? Sincere compassion dictates we act consistently to demonstrate our condemnation of cruelty and violence to all of our brothers & sisters of our Mother Earth.
