I don't know guys. I get so worked up when it comes to the topic of poverty and homelessness. I grew up in the DTES and for me, at the time, it was no big deal. Now that I'm on the other side of the tracks, looking back, it bothers me when I hear people talking about the less fortunate. Maybe I should just let it go.

Thank you for that. There are a lot of people who suffer quietly in the DTES. Language barrier, illness, parents abandoned them, you name it.
My thanks button ain't working no more...........
EDIT: nvm. It's working again.
God damn it. I'm missing my favourite TV show, Criminal Minds. I missed out on good take out Chinese food, too. Damn kids. Didn't leave me anything. Life's tough, I tell ya......

Right.
My bad. I just jumped at the opportunity to rant.
BTW, I hear Arnold is part of the torch run. Cool. Lots of exposure for the games. He owns property in Summerland, so he's paying taxes, LOL.
I just hope we didn't bribe him by offering his state billions of litres of free water and gigawatts of hydro electricty. And.... a promise to shut down Hollywood North.
