So glad to hear people talking about this. Today on national public radio they talked about this very issue. It’s so sad that it falls beneath the radar of so many people. Please keep giving us an avenue for commenting on such ridiculous opportunities when everything is turning to shit. I know it’s getting better, thanks to B & M Obama, but it is going to take a while. I for one am willing to be patient. I am cooking at a homeless shelter tomorrow and going in late. I don’t even care about the late part.
Hi Chuck,
Thanks for reading and for your wonderful comment. I really appreciate it immensely.
