Sad vs. Disgrace.

Written by Troy, a guest writer. Posted with permission.

"Yes, yes, foodless pantries exist in America, and it is sad."

"Yes, yes, hungry kitchens exist in America, and it is sad."

"Yes, yes, nursing homes of quiet despair exist in America, and it is sad."

"Yes, yes, homeless back-alleys exist in America, and it is sad."

"Yes, yes, trees without gifts are all many children have to wake up to every Christmas morning in America, and it is sad."

"Yes, yes, homes exist where elderly residents must choose between heat for a month or medication, and it is sad."

"Yes, yes, schools with substandard books and funding exist in America, and it is sad."

"Yes, yes, hospitals that turn away the uninsured exist in America, and it is sad."

"Yes, yes, loneliness dwells in the houses of many in America, and it is sad."

"But---! WHAT THOSE TWO CONSENTING ADULTS IN LOVE ARE DOING IN THEIR BEDROOMS! NOW THAT---IS A NATIONAL DISGRACE!"
