What I cannot live without?


If you ask the typical American what they cannot live without they might tell you their electronics, the latest fashion trend, air conditioner, microwave, or cabel. If you ask a child what they cannot live without they might tell you their toys. The reality is these things are wants not needs. What we trully need and cannot live without is food, water, shelther, clothing, a support system, and a roof over our heads. There are people in third world countires that are fighting for scarse resources and are given food that contains the terminator gene.
