That there is serious income inequality is something we have known, at least in the abstract.  And yet it was somehow stunning to see these stark reminders this morning.  We all need to be aware of this and of whatever else is happening in our world, whether we like it or loathe it.  We are affected, always, because we are part of "it all."  If everyone would recognize that we are all in this together, maybe motivations and actions would change accordingly.   Maybe the inequality gap would begin to close.  Slowly and over time, yes, but I'll gladly take a beginning any old time.
