12. Next thing these idiots are going to do is...............
.....label all "homeless people" as "terrorists of the state/country". Otherwise there is no reason not to feed those less fortunate than ourselves.

Remember folks; "But by the grace of God there go I."

Let me tell you all of my youngest son. I raised my kids to help those who are less fortunate and NEVER EVER FOR ANY REASON make fun of or harass a mentally/physically challenged person or homeless person. Well, about a year ago my youngest son was taking me somewhere and all of a sudden changed lanes in rush hour traffic, to get over to the left side of the four lane metro area street. As he's changing lanes my son is digging in his pocket and about then my son just up and stops along the curb with lights flashing. There was a man standing on the curb with a sign that read, "Homeless, any help appreciated. God Bless" My son said to the guy, "Sorry man, this is all I have right now", and handed the man a $5 bill. That wasn't the first time he had done that but it was the only time I questioned him about it because I knew that was the last of his money until payday a week later. My son's reply left me near tears and so damn proud to be his mom, "Mom, you and I both know what it's like to be down and out and not know where our next meal is coming from. You always worked out something, at times I never knew how you did it but you did. I just don't ever want anyone else to know that feeling if I can do anything about it and you know what, I probably won't miss the money anyway." :wow: Yea, my jaw dropped!!!!!

I absolutely hate these "lawmakers" who wouldn't know a hungry day or a homeless day in their life - off of my taxes no less - and still have no compassion at all. :grr:
