When I ask why the poor have no food, they call me a communist." As we enter this season of giving, getting, and official thankfulness (!), maybe it's appropriate to ask ourselves whether our practice of education and pd is a matter of metaphorically giving food to the poor, asking why the poor have no food, or both. Whichever the answer, how do we know that self-report is accurate? And is that what we really want to be doing? Why?
