81. Its going to take enough people giving a damn, and making the effort.

NOTHING comes without effort.

I have a question for you... why is it worth the effort to fight for the environment, fight for gay marriage, fight for health care, fight for so many other things, but when it comes to poverty and homeless, we get dismissals like "I don't think the hoarding will stop anytime soon"????

Do you have any idea just how discouraging this is to poor folk, and how hopeless we feel when reading this stuff?

Can you put yourself in our shoes for a minute and reread these replies, and see just how dismissive they are?

Its a damned good thing Martin and Malcolm didn't settle for these rationalizations, isn't it?

Now, should I bet that you will respond by getting angry at *me*, rather than to see that it is time for serious action?
