The Dalai Lama Calls on the U.S. to Address Its Widening Poverty Gap: Will our nation respond?

One of the world's most recognized ambassadors for peace, the Dalai Lama, urged the U.S. to take action to address the widening economic divide amongst its citizens.  While in New Hampshire accepting the inaugural Lantos Human Rights Prize, he took some time to express his concern with the state of our country's social divide. ""When I think of America, I think of the idea -- concept of freedom, liberty, equality. I think these are real human values." How will we respond to the Dalai Lama's diagnosis?
