brokeplex:
somehow thru the magic of Artiste we have jumped from pecans, to Texas history, to the Chinese Olympics.
Never give up Artiste!
Artiste:
Thanks for making me smile all of you!!
I do not want the USA to become a third world country more and more...
as this is now the danger!! May I say...
and plea!!
Now, back to the good will thread:
Today I was driving around the Loop in town.
There was a man standing on an onramp with a sign..."Hungry, please help"
He is out there everyday, rain or shine, 90 degree heat. But I think he is scamming people. He could find work (probably) if he wanted to...
then a couple of miles on around is another man, in his twenties?? maybe thirties...hard to tell. He sits everyday beside the road on a old trunk, with a couple of grocery sacks filled with assorted flotsam...waiting. He doesn't beg, doesn't look up. I wonder what he is waiting for. I hate that he is out there. There should be a place for him somewhere.
It breaks my heart to know he is sitting out there night and day, looking so sad, waiting for something or someone that will never come. Like an abandoned dog....
the local fast food restaurants feed him. just like a stray dog....
..........
To you all to that quoted:
May I say that we need to get the USA and other democratic countries back on track!! Isn't that so? In order to stop such poverty? And in order too not to increase it?
Let's get serious!! How do we do that: create jobs in the USA??
Am I clear?
Au revoir,
Hugs!
Artiste:
USA is getting too poor!!
How can we all stop that?
Hugs!

In NZ we have the same problems, always guys (never seen a girl yet), sleeping rough in certain parts of the central city. They never have a sign, nor do they beg they just have their meagure belongings. We have a well established social support system but these guys slip through the cracks and spend their handouts on drugs, alcohol and sniff paint etc. Mental Illness, addiction I don't know but they are always there day after day. We all know where they are, but most of us tend not to look and not to think
Artiste:
Thanks ZK!
More please.
Hugs!
