Went to feed the friends

And the cops were offing them like where do they go. I of course get in the middle with my dozen sandwitches.What is happening to us when the homeless have no home. Most ofr those guys were vets. I know not a SR topic except it makes me want to drink.

I'm sure you know that drinking isn't going to help those guys. It certainly won't help you, either. You're doing a very humanitarian thing by passing out sandwiches to them. I'm sure they wouldn't want you to do anything detrimental to yourself.

so the cops were chasing them away from the area? Don't they have real crime to deal with? What is wrong with the world. Honestly.

You do a good thing bringing them food. We need more people like you in the world.

Instead of having a drink, which is destructive, why not do something constructive, like write a letter to the editor?

You do write well, especially using fewer words rather than more...

...unlike me, who tends to run at the mouth/keyboard!

Fitz - homelessness (sp?) makes me really sad.
I hate the indignity, the sadness, the bleekness of it all.

Every year I support a charity in the UK where for different sized donations you can buy 20 men a bacon butty and a cuppa on christmas morning, or a night in a hostel on christmas eve.
I don't know if that is the right way to go about things, I am not very politically minded or clever, but I just hope it makes someone feel slightly loved and warm and a tiny bit special.

I'm glad your still here friend xxxx

Good for you! I'll keep supporting Shelter here in the UK. I hope even the smallest donations can help someone. I'd be gutted to find one of my family homeless.

Its hard because its homeless addicted et all. I am working with the state to change things but homeless don't vote. But maybe not a bad idea to empower them. I had one guy get pretty violent today but I think he was just out of it. I had to contain him and call for help but medics really don,t so much care for uninsured.
