We are homeless. we have lost everything we ever had including our dignity.

We have been going to school and are established - knowing the campus, the faculty and having some friends. Those are the things that give us a sense of normalcy, of personal dignity.

Why would some bureaucratic policy rob us of what little we have? It is the sheer cruelty of America.

America is not a loving and kind country anymore. It is a heartless and ruthless one that is out for "self" first.

I know that is a generalization but I see this more and more. We have lost our way - our morality.
