31. Dear Tx4Obama: When I read your OP, I had a bit of empathy for you.

However, you lost me when you spouted your bs about people with cell phones (how dare they!) and folks with food stamps buying "high end" food, like steaks! Horrors!

I was on food stamps for 6 months (single parent, two kids 3 and 4 years old) in 1968 and I remember people like you in the grocery store, checking out what I was buying.

A cell phone is a way for someone to keep in touch. That you resent the fact that homeless folks have one instead of getting a place to live just shows your ignorance.

It might be helpful if you volunteered at a homeless shelter, or soup kitchen.

btw, I was born in 1943.

Peace.
