New resident…
it is depressing to be poor or disabled in our society… and doubly depressing to be both.
as for what we can do…
the thing we can do immediately is have compassion for those less fortunate.
We can give to individuals we know need help.
We can give to organizations that help those who need help.
We can demand reform in the programs that service those who are marginalized.
we can demand “in house” care for the mentally ill… something along the assisted living model that we have developed for the elderly.
We can join John Edward’s new bipartisan cause.. something about cutting poverty in half in ten years:)
that seems like a good goal to me.
