Pity the poor?
Monday, November 26th, 2007
I’m sure many of us walk past the homeless and do not give them a second thought or glance for that matter. I unfortunately have a sceptical view of homeless men; I don’t know why the same does not apply for women, in that they are only out on the streets begging to feed a [...]
