Durango should show more compassion

Wow! For such a great little town, Durango sure has a bunch of grumps. You don’t like art that’s not equivalent to a man on a horse, and you don’t like humanity that makes you uncomfortable. By God, you pay your taxes, and everyone should be just like you. Never mind your background, intellectual capacity, health issues, family support – get a job. If I can do it, you can do it. The United States is one of the wealthiest countries on this Earth, but greed and self-centeredness has become the god. How about a little compassion and less judgmentalism. “There but for the grace of God go I.” May God look after each and every one of the people who are standing on a hot-pavement street corner panhandling for a meal, regardless of their story or intentions.
