"Skid Row Speaks Up........................."

Good Morning;

So it's 5:35 am. and the insomnia is in full swing.

I've been surfing the 'Net for the past 4 hours, ever since I realized that all I'd get was even more irritated and sore if I lay there reaching after sleep that w.as not anywhere near. A link to the L.A. Times Online that reiterates some of the same things I've been saying. The really big one being....DON'T look away and pretend we do not exist when you see us on the street. If you do nothing else acknowledge our shared humanity. You don't have to give anything to, or speak to,or even pretend to like any of us.....but do not act as if we are invisible.

Allow us our dignity.

Formerly homeless, they know whereof they speak
