1. K&R...you are right.

Nov 2013

And I know what you mean, because I have been homeless on the street...and know what it is like to try to scrape together enough money to buy a candy bar to calm the hunger that gnaws at you...
But I was lucky and did not have to spend too long in that state because I was young and there were people around that did help me to get out of that situation...not so now when most of the people are not just the young but whole families and old people and they have been isolated from the eyes of the rest of us...out of site out of mind.
