As someone who has worked with those experiencing homelessness for years I can tell you these are some of the sweetest people working hard to change their circumstances in the face of this fucked up system. I have made very good friends in the homeless community.

If there was a vaccine for chickenpox in 1974 why did I get sent to a "pox party" at 6 in 1976 so I could get chickenpox to immunize myself from chickenpox? That was a horrible illness. Mom had to tape oven mitts on my hands so I didn't scratch holes in myself. Glad kids don't get that anymore.
