Do you believe in miracles?

My grandmother used to say that there is a little good in the worst of us and a little bad in the best of us. Everyone has probably read Paul Ryan's proposed budget and undoubtedly everyone has picked up on the Republican view of how to deal with the less fortunate, and people who are immigrants, gay or of different ethnic backgrounds and religions. There is also the Women's Rights and their opinions on how they should be dealt with. This is Easter Sunday and one might hope for a miracle in which the Right Wing found some compassion and understanding for those less fortunate, which would take in people who do not fit the Republican view. Do you think such a miracle is possible?

If there is any good in those misanthropic corporate toadies (and that's a very big 'if,' indeed), it's hog-tied and gagged deep within their conscience.

They have proven over and over to have no empathy for others unless the issue hits close to home (their son is gay, their teenage daughter needs an abortion because "she has her whole life ahead of her&quot and even then they quickly slip back into their old ways.
