Reply #26: I share your anger, and wondered when *someone* would pick up on this!

However, we 'murkins are just as silly about other things.

It's OK for a 60 year-old woman to be homeless, but a child? Homeless? Then that becomes something that needs attention.

We hear the phrases about how many children go to bed hungry at night. What about their parents? How well can a wo/man parent when they are hungry?

The list goes on...

We USians don't take good care of our children as a nation, but we use children to get people to have concern.

It's all quite nonsensical.
