    " I wish all poeple were able to make a good living. But more than that, I wish some people could understand the word disabled. Many disabled people work three times as hard to get even half way recognized for what they do. It is not easy to have to ask for a few neccesities just to make life bearable. A couch, vacumm, or even a bed is so appreciated by the needy. Misunderstanding and degrading insults are not appreciated. Be kind to each other and may God bless. "

    " Yes, how *dare* anyone ask for charity in this Christian nation? How *dare* anyone take the words on the Statue of Liberty literally? (Now, where's my latest tax cut?) Seriously, you people make me ashamed to call myself an "American"--or that I ever called myself a "Christian". I know atheists and Wiccans who know more about charity than you. "
