Reply #71: I'm sorry to disillusion you- but you'd be surprised how

[Bluerthanblue]

much money people without shelter have to put out to simply survive- People who go to work in the am, and sleep under bridges in tents and cold weather shelters at night-

Imagine if you will, how would you "store" anything ???
Sure, stocking up on essentials when they are on sale, shopping for food weekly or monthly saves pretty substantial $- but what do you do when there is no refrigerator?

Where do you put your winter boots in July? Your parka?

It isn't as cut and dried as you'd think- My friends who are caught in situations that don't allow them to obtain and maintain their own personal housing would break down alot of the stereotypes and preconceived notions that many people have-

We need to stop buying into the "poster-child" images that the media feeds us- We need to stop clumping people into neat little piles of "worthy" and "un-worthy". Anything else IS prejudice- if you stop and think about it- Pre conceived judgment.

Someday we'll finally understand that

We all need to treat others as if "we" were "them" and "they" are "us"-

Until we do that- we will continue to kill, envy, wage war, oppress, and destroy each other.

I for one am really weary of all this circling-
peace,
