~Mahatma Gandhi (1869-1948)

very nice candid

Great subject! Wise words! The tongues wag and the fingers point. Those in power always say they want to help, but cut services and raise tuition, yet they fund pet projects. They all do it and always have!
Just a thought! Instead of judging and blaming. Buy a stranger lunch, slip someone a Lincoln, a Hamilton, or a Jackson, say something kind, or even a smile will go a long way!
Great photo Mark! It strikes a chord!

Heart-breaking image. . . . I'm guessing we're looking at a victim of social services cuts started during the Reagan years so we could give additional tax breaks to millionaires.

A really powerful photo. Might want to send Obama a copy.

so sad to see, but a masterful composition.

A sad photo. Apparently she missed out on our president's stimulus plan.

Excellent quality picture - Subject matter: Today, in many countries, life sees the pampering of the young and the neglection of the old.

Very very sad comment on the state of affairs in this country at this time. Both the photo and the quote!

Proof of the lie.
