 Homelessness means society has failed. 

Billionaires mean society has failed.

I agree. I saw Colin Farrell the actor literally cry on talk show, as he talked about homelessness in L.A. 
  Chief Sitting Bull couldn't understand WHY white people had homeless. In NYC he gave of his own money to help them. 
  No country is ":great" that has homeless people, seems to me.

  I have ALways been glad to see females accomplishing great things in Human history, stepping ahead of the men. So many cases of it. 
  I personally like being around high IQ females. 
   One such is a close friend who's obviously smarter than me, but is  also extremely compassionate. She told me I shouldn't get angry at dinnertime telemarketers, "If they could get a better job, they would." (Wow.)  
  In youth I prayed to be around someone who'd teach me to be more compassionate.

  The more I read about Elon Musk the more he seems very selfish, conniving, evil. 
  The Judge said he has to reimburse each former exec $1.1. million?

I acknowledge you Ms. Stillirise and commend you for the great amount of good you're doing. I'm white, born in the South (Florida), LIBERAL ever since college, been living in California most of my life.
Tho Florida is in South I had many liberal friends there. 
   I live on Sunset Strip in L.A., I love that it's so liberal here, no racism. Seems a very peaceful neighborhood, I love it here.
   I wish you the very best, Ma'am. 
I appreciate the good things you do. 
 Again, all your stupid little attacks on me for telling THE TRUTH make me stronger. Keep it up yo... 
 @3967703f 

I'm on your side.

    Are you seeing a lot of damage from the earthquake?  Marrakech. 

 I have a friend here who had just returned from Tangier where he'd visited his family. Just minutes after I saw him the earthquake hit. He later said Tangier was not harmed.

  I learned this from psychiatrists years ago, about Trump:

  He has FrontoTemporal Dementia, it is incurable and has been taking out the front lobe of his brain.His future is to be "nonresponsive, needing 24 hour care". 
  Will his MAGA people be assisting him in his visits to the bathroom/toilet at that time?  I suspect not. We shall see.

I'm an avid reader too. Just finished LAST NIGHT AT THE VIPER ROOM, the biography of River Phoenix, who as an actor was compared to James Dean. Brad Pitt said of River, "He was the best of all of us." He was older brother of Joaquin Phoenix. River died, age 23, of o.d. at Johnny Depp's Viper Room on the Sunset Strip, Halloween night. 
  I read the book in day and a half, it was so absorbing. I highly recommend it. Extremely sensitive & compassionate young man.

I also read in a couple days, PROOF OF LIFE AFTER LIFE, by Raymond Moody, Ph.d & M.D. 
Moody coined the term "Near Death Experience" in his first book, LIFE AFTER LIFE, 1975, & changed the world. He also talks in both books about the mirror, "Psychomanteum," through which people can communicate with "dead" relatives & friends. Moody learned about this method from the ancient Greeks, who used it with extreme success. It's been verified even in TV shows like OPRAH.
