and while I choose to ignore your previous insult, " save your fucking condescending attitude.
", I too have been without. I have lived in bone crushing poverty. I too have had to go weeks on end with nothing else to eat other than beans and rice. Much of the time the rice infested. Having to live on the streets of Los Angeles. Having been beaten up over a can of food.
So before you caste stones...
Peace to you.
