Recently, he grabbed a sandwich from the espresso shop he owns and dashed out front to give it to one of the most pitiful homeless people he has ever seen. The poor soul leaves his stench hanging in the air a block behind him. When «Louis» went back into his shop, his bookkeeper, who had witnessed this, berated him. «Louis» replied, "You are the mother of three children. You should understand! He was some woman's baby once!"Louis la Vachehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09039777863022193315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-222523593258151872.post-61579603207862255442009-12-17T23:35:50.129-05:002009-12-17T23:35:50.129-05:00I know what you mean about feeling weird.

Meanwhile there are many children in America who go to bed hungry. It makes me feel better to donate money at the grocery store using those pull off $ tickets by the cash register, but I know it is not enough.dianasfaria.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10488357854017358868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-222523593258151872.post-43036975504719496752009-12-17T20:21:15.235-05:002009-12-17T20:21:15.235-05:00That's a wonderful, but heartbreaking photo Ki...That's a wonderful, but heartbreaking photo Kitty.

We have the second worst income distribution in the world according to the Gini index, surpassed only by Sierra Leone.<br />According to a study released Wednesday by the IPEA (Institute of Applied Economic Research), although the country has managed to improve some of its key social indicators, income distribution is still one of the worst problems of the country. According to the survey, 1% of richest people - 1.7 million people in Brazil - has an income equivalent to the portion composed of the poorest 50% (86.5 million).Washingtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09380647542195306244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-222523593258151872.post-28773341143341261212009-12-17T04:59:16.446-05:002009-12-17T04:59:16.446-05:00bonne photo, ici cela commence : neige, grand froi...bonne photo, ici cela commence : neige, grand froidOlivierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00602980523811128510noreply@blogger.com
