95. You know, this is exactly what is so damming.... all of you sitting around deciding how to change
people, and it never even occurs to you that they are PEOPLE.

You wouldn't want people doing the same to you, but it never even occurs to you that maybe if you were to get to KNOW poor people, and ASK them, you might learn something.

But, then, you'd have to first be willing to see us as people, and that would be a huge shock to theh system.

Until then, "consider" that treating people as objects usually doesn't get you greeting with flowers and choklits.
