1. A way of life is being thrown away.

And there's nothing being done about it. Nothing.

Thanks for posting. The Story Project is doing good work.

2. These stories are sad

3. Powerful.

Too bad our MSM don't or won't show this. If our media spent as much time on THIS as they do on the "Royal Wedding" perhaps something would happen.
