I originally wrote this before elections, for some reason it didn't post. I think it's still relevant.
In this blog I wish to clear the air. My profile has little info on me except anti government blurb. The reason being, this blog is about homelessness in the richest nation on earth. I believe our leaders are the main cause. I am a chef by trade, unable to ply my craft any longer, but I can spew my mouth off.
Not being a professional writer, I really don't care about political correctness. If I think I have seen a spade, I will not call it a heart. If I hurt someone's feelings, I'm sure there are plenty of other blogs that will rub your ego the way you want them to. If you want to comment ,complain, complement, correct my spelling, feel free, I barley know how to type and post pictures here. Someday I will figure out the site. Meanwhile read my post, talk to others ,bring awareness to the fore front of national discussion. People just like you and me are being swept under the rug more and more daily. We must stop this. Everyone is worried about Ebola, a massive undertaking underway, you need to come in contact with the infected fluids to get it. What do you have to come into contact with to get starvation and homelessness? Next time you are eating out and a homeless person walks by, be thankful and remember somewhere,not far,a dinner is being held that cost thousands of dollars a plate , so one guy can pretend to care for what ?
Unlike my other post, this one will force the reader to read my ranting first than view some of my shots.
Election time is fast approaching,take a minute to listen and observe. Look at the millions and millions being spent on campaigns in your backyard and across the nation. All we hear or read or see from the hopeful electors are the same sound bites Madison Ave. has determined the masses want to hear. How can one justify spending millions on a $70,000..00 a year job.
HAS THE MASSES BECOME LAMBS UNABLE OR WILLING TO THINK AND SEE ...ORWELLIAN VISIONS HAVE OVERCOME. ??
Easy. Wake up and look. When was the last time someone went into a elected position as an average person, and left that position without a great amount of wealth and personal advancement.
I have interviewed hundreds of persons living in the streets, none have held public office, none have received any visits from hopeful representatives,though many have the right to vote.
None receive the kind of aid our politicians receive. Of all the political ads this season I have only heard one, once ,address the homeless issue. Are these people on the streets citizens represented the same as us? Do they matter to those who don't even answer their own phones? My opinion ....NO>>>NO>>>NO. We are barely represented as it stands when we are hard working individuals. These people lose more connection the longer they are on the streets. Those in plush offices with finely polished mahogany doors and furniture do not even see them.
