‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.’

Though I am not one to quote the bible (even as a former seminarian that thinks the bible has a few nice stories) ...oh, thee people of 'faith', you seem to like it. (not you DU'ers, the rest of them ) Collectively, we are a cruel people.

I had the fortune of being homeless at one time (fortunate in that I experienced it, survived it and was able to develop an appropriate empathy for those that suffer). Sometimes I want to just scream at our collective population...

what the f@*k are we doing to each other???? I do what I can...
