Once again, I love the way you approach a story. I wrote the comment below & tried posting after your Lost Sheep Story on the Homeless, but it was too late. Yet, I wanted you to know, you made me think & care. You’re an excellent writer because you’re thoughtful & reach the viewer by approaching areas that perhaps they may have not thought about. You get people thinking!

My post:

Richard Markosian, again, you challenge us to think differently about why some non-conformist people might be unable to adapt to living in a more & more robotically inclined society; deciding that living on the streets is their best option even if it entails fending off crime, cold weather, or going without shelter. If we as a people can go to the moon, we must figure out how to help these “lost sheep.” I worked downtown all of my life basically, and what scares me most is the apathy of folks, accepting people living on the streets. When we as a people walk by a person wrapped in a blanket and shivering on a cold winter day, and we’re holding our $8.00 cup of specialty coffee, we may want to ask ourselves if we too have lost our way!
