I hate
to think that this country has become so bereft of human kindness that we can
ignore the fact that we have so many homeless people. It should be a basic human
right that everyone has food, housing, and medical care. Instead we spend lots
of money on police, prisons and the military.
Many of the people on State
Street spend time, now and again, in jails and prisons. It's no coincidence that
America's jails and prisons are filled with poor people. There are very few rich
people in prison. I guess they don't commit any crimes.
