This material can only thrive because there is a public that adores such cruelty.
The human species is quite cruel, and especially cruel when situations and such scenarios as mentioned in the above article do not come "close to home".
Since we are talking about the homeless in this particular case, people tend to care less. However people seem to forget that any single one of us could potentially become homeless through the simple event of losing our jobs and not being able to find a new one.
Of course not all homeless people are homeless due to a personal tragedy or the loss of a job, some even choose to be homeless over being part of the corporate machine. But however small the population of homeless people who cannot help their descent into homelessness, we must not forget that all of them, regardless of where the cause of their homelessness lies are still people just like you and me.
Always keep an open mind, look around you and question everything.
You are in control of your actions and we are all in the same boat, rich or poor, black, white, believers and non-believers... we are all humans and on the same path of life.
Be blessed folks and take care of yourselves and one another.
My two cents,
