The first thing I want to complain about is pepole with no respect, the other day driveing down the road there was a Vietnam Vet standing there holding a sighn that said "just hungry" it said nothing bout money and nothing bout homeless just simply "just hungry" and yet everyone ignored him just drove buy. there was an extra pop tart in the truck so i passed it to him well we went buy. He smiled and nodded. I understand that the economy is bad but to the 5 people that passed him eatting fast food, what you where to buys stuff in your face with that 6 bucks you just spent on that cheese burger and fries that you couldn't give him your extra large fries or that other burger you bought?

and on that thought about the economy being bad and fast food got me to thinking, see there a pizza place here that you can use food stamps to buy pizza. So somehow obviously thairs some kinda of value there. So then that made me think could you take food stamps to bigger fast food reasraunts and buy food, wouldnt the economy grow and such ?

another thing that one my nerves that i seen maybe its a random advent to see this more then once. Some one almost got hurt from this person in a SUV whom didn't want to wait to be next inline to get gas so he/she simply just cut right in front of someone causeing them to run twoards the road in there car. And then filled up there SUV tank and then two small gas cans. You couldnt wait and or you coulda found a diffrent gas station, why put others in danger? what if that car woulda went out in the road and got t-boned or ran into a gas pump?

and this not to be mean or sound like i hate other countries, but why is it when something happen in another place we can run off and save them or help them, yet when something happens here it takes months for help or years? We have a homless proublme and hunger issues are selfs, don't you think we should save our selfs first? And on another note you cant do anyhting a USA Citizen with out and id or some kinda proof where you live, i realize there rules and such but that dosent help the fact that most are soliders come home to nothing and our vets are sleeping in boxes, dont you think there dog tags or the draft papers or other personal paper work should be enough. and what about the homeless kids or other adults? isnt there away to help them to?

and my biggest complaint is this dont talk about it inless you plan on doing anything about it, which i do do something about, i give food when i can, donate to the food banks, drop change in the red cross bucket and give clothing to the arch, salvation army and good will when i can and the clothing is in good conditon. So there are thing that can be done and are easy to such as giveing a pop tart to someone whos just hungry or even a box of rasians. you never know who you just helped what gose around comes around, I dont know bout you but i love good karma!
