  • some may consider it unpatriotic that you posted that. To me it just shows that people out there still have a grasp for reality. And yes, there are still people out there who prefer watching this than a stupid car crash video. Thanks for this contribution.

  • Awesome work you are doing for NYC! I'm from Brooklyn, so I know how many fall through the cracks there. Feeding the homeless may not solve the problem, but it will give us one more day to find the solution. Great work Matt!

  • Kitty hungry! I think Arnie of California should watch this! And close our boarders until we get a head count. What? wait..they cut my balls off so I don't have offspring, I am just sayin toooo many nice ppl from other countries coming in for a free meal. Let's see if other countries let us American ppl in for a free meal and medical care (mainly Workmans Comp cases, too many fake cases from forigners!!).

    • I used to think that poor, starving people are idiotic and lazy ingrates, but then I was reading a bunch of white papers by economists (the most cynical people in the world, btw). I came across sites like these:

      http://www.epi.org/content.cfm/webfeatures_snapshots_20051012

      So it's not so cut and dry as you think and with the economy in shams where even the middle class is working harder. It just doesn' More..
