Many Thoughts to Ponder. Lisa M Atkinson's Blog. Monday, December 14, 2009. Who Knew Sheep Herding Could Be Extreme.

Many Thoughts to Ponder: Poverty becoming the majority?

http://lisaatkinson9940895.blogspot.com/2011/01/poverty-becoming-majority.html

Many Thoughts to Ponder. Lisa M Atkinson's Blog. Wednesday, January 19, 2011. Poverty becoming the majority? Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs.
