Reply #17: Some people refuse

[libpunkmom]

to see reality. My son and I were on the trolley (Portland,Or) two stops before ours there is a church that every Tues and Thurs gives out food. The line goes around the entire block. Last Tues. there was a young woman (aprox early 20's) and her mother sitting across from us. The mother sees the food line and ask "What is that? What are all those people in line for?" I looked right at her and explained that it was a food line. She looked right at me and said, "I've never seen or heard of such a thing." For some reason, some people just refuse to believe that there are poor and hungry people in this country.
