good question. i have the feeling he frowned, uttered tsk tsk and moved on. people who say "'they' should do something" usually do that. as the world fights to figure this all out, I'll be holding doors for strangers, letting people cut in front of me in traffic, saying good morning, keeping babies entertained in grocery lines, stopping to talk to someone who is lonely, tipping generously, calling you by the name on your tag, waving at police, sharing food, giving children a thumbs-up, being patient with sales clerks, and smiling at passersby as often as I am provided the opportunity, buying a total stranger a cup of coffee. because? i will not stand idly by and live in a world where unconditional love is invisible. join me in showing love, judging less. find your own way to swing the pendulum in the direction of LOVE. be kind to a stranger today and everyday. it just may be a friend you have never met. pay it forward for any kindness shown to you in the past. be the change!!! be the light start TODAY LIGHT ONE GO copied from a friend who copied it from someone else, who copied it from someone else.

I have no intention of defending myself to you, or anyone else. I doubt very much you have done any more than and I have to help my fellow human over my life time. And I never sold out! And anyone who knows me knows that is true.

But to reiterate, this is not about what any individual or "church " or other charities do, this is about our society doing its job of protecting the people!

Try and concentrate on that concept.

<,

You threw a lot of spaghetti at the wall, but you didn't answer my question. I'll try to make it easier.

So what did you do? Did you give her money? Did you give her a cup of hot chocolate? Did you give her a jacket? Did you offer to let her sleep on your couch? Did you give her some weed?

Or... did you just give her your opinion that somebody needs to do something?
