...if not already homeless, just a breath away from it. And some of the ones who do have homes are barely housed at all, floors falling in, buckets around every room to catch the rain, no heating system other than the stovetops, filling the house with gas fumes. One of these days I fear they'll be blown to smithereens or gassed to death. You see lots of poverty in town, but lord, out in the rural areas, it's bad too. This is an obscenity in the name of freedom and democracy!
