Thank you for stopping by to read ...Dear Orchid64,<br /><br />Thank you for stopping by to read and comment. I would like to think that those of us who are writing about homelessness are making an impact. <br /><br />However, I am afraid American culture is just too atomized by now, with few geographical communities left that might feel enough cohesion to act together to alleviate the burden of others around them. <br /><br />It is not that people do not care: I believe that police woman cared, but she did not feel there was anything constructive she could do. She could feel my pain only by feeling hers. Not graceful or pretty, but I understood her. I believe the resentment I heard in her tone of voice was also frustration at having to be the messenger.WalkintheParkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02358891671907297125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2521247541141478203.post-31385767780715800962010-03-03T16:51:51.514-08:002010-03-03T16:51:51.514-08:00I felt such despair for you after reading this pos...I felt such despair for you after reading this post. The police officer was doing her job, but her comments to you about her rent were misplaced. People are so mired in their own lives that they can't inhabit the much harsher reality of someone else's life.<br /><br />I think that your letting people know about these things through your blog is very valuable, and I hope you keep it up.Orchid64https://www.blogger.com/profile/07132543155589881288noreply@blogger.com
