A "friend" of mine....

posted on Facebook that she had absolutely no compassion for the lady that left her kids in the car so she could do the job interview. She was incredulous that people had donated so much money to her and that only sent a message--that leaving your kids in a car was OK.

The responses were all rah-rah, with another lady saying "Shame on those that donated." Someone else said she should have gone to a church.

I debated on whether to say anything.

I decided to donate $50 for Ms Taylor.

Just wanted to come here and vent a little. This is a woman who I have considered a friend, but considering the lack of compassion she admitted to having, I may be a bit cautious about in the future.

maybe not lack of compassion but she suffers from inability to empathize and think critically about the situation... still I would not enjoy having her as a friend


"she should have gone to a church" ugh

There was supposed to be a news conference yesterday, but I didn't hear anything more about it.

where people are being dismissed because of their financial status.

"To be poor is crime" is actually a truer statement, though no one is willing to admit to that.
