You said a mouth full.
They just passed the energy bill which gave 7 billion dollars
in tax cuts for the largest oil company in the world because they were
just going broke I guess!
You know many people could be housed on 7 billion? WOW!

You must keep in mind that most states no longer provide asylums
and orphanages for such people. Homeless people aren't new, we just
officially ignore them instead of taking care of them. I don't think
that we should underestimate what the government is willing to cut in
the name of lower taxes for the wealthy.

try this
I went to 125th st. in Harlem/NYC to
videotape the exterior of the Apollo Theater and some guy who looked to
be living "al fresco" felt he could vent his anger at "the man" by
putting 3 pennies by the joystick on my chair. I resisted the natural
reaction to brush them away (after all I was not in the position to
return his insult) when I moved my chair back for a wider angle, the
pennies fell to the ground. About a minute later, a well kept,
Sunday-best / hat wearing little 'ol lady stopped to pick up the money
with her clean white gloves. You could almost hear her thinking;"find a
penny, pick it up........" When my eyes met the idiot who left me the
money. There was no need for words. This sent him ranting down the
street and screaming about racial persecution, with no concern that
his foul language might be offending the other "little 'ol ladies" in
ear-shot.
My point is- yeah, the woman at
Target was a dweeb, but her heart was in the right place. It's the false
concern that is the real insult. Use the incident as a chance to share
your perspective so she won't be dweeb again

one day i was sitting outside of Target, minding my own
business, waiting for my mom and some old lady walked up and tried
to give me ten dollars. she looked like she needed it more than
me, though. so i declined.

Kids crack me up, when my nephew seen me for the first
time after my
accident he told me "OK get up it's my turn" I was lmao
because it was so
innocent because they just don't know but when kids
ask questions they
usually ask more intelligent questions than adults
and they have a million
of them on your
chair.
