Respective to your questions: I'm very involved in a good many ways. Due to that, I'm also very aware. Borne of that awareness and devotion to making things better, I spend more hours and more money and more belongings each week helping homeless veterans than you and most people spend in a year---maybe ten years. They are possibly the most vivid illustration of how far we have sunk as a nation and a society.

I put up and I care, and when people carry on with this weak crap about the efforts being made to make this country responsible again, it's especially grating. It's that simple. I love this country, but I love the people in it far more. I want to see it be the kind of nation that actually appears to care about those in need, of which there are a greater number than at any time in history.
Kevin,

Good thoughts, but you are not the only guy who puts his money, time, and effort where his mouth is. I wrote a piece that was a joke, you didn't like it, let's just leave it at that w/o any more hard feelings. It's a baseball board, let's get back to baseball.
