bobbolink has been homeless for years.

I truly believe that when Bobbie raises her voice in anger, it comes from a sense of deep desperation and is not meant to attack you as an individual. What she needs to see is that we - as progessives - acknowledge the horrible extent and ramifications of homelessness and poverty. What are we willing to do attack this monstrous problem? It is a problem which encompasses generations, from infants born to poor mothers, to those unemployed in middle age, to disabled seniors who face the end of their days in poverty. And it is a cycle which will keep repeating itself.

There is so much wealth consolidated in the hands of so few. What do we make of this? How do we proceed?
