HOMELESSNESS, the American lie

We, Americans, love ghosts. We render each other invisible, at will, when someone falls victim to the thievery banking, government, and large corporations. Unemployment, or homelessness makes people's faces, and lives invisible. In our culture a white woman's plight gives urgency to the problem, while our ghost stories, and religious beliefs influence our policies. But when all is said and done we are in the same place when President Johnson declared war on poverty. - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories
