sad state of the state

so i was reading that a homeless man froze to death in providence the other night.
"middle aged" meaning he was probably one who lost his job and home recently.

yet at the same time in the paper,people were lauding how the "first night" and various other stupid social things were saved due to donations.

it just makes me sick.the "well-to-do" in this area will contribute to events,and saving stupid buildings only they care about,while people are homeless,starving,cold.
surely a human being is a more rewarding contribution,especially in these times,than
fireworks we really don't need?or a replicated horse trough in newport that nobody remembers because it was over 100 years ago!?

i said a long time ago that this one industry industry around rhode island would bite them on the ass one day-you have to diversify,or you set yourself up for economic problems in the long run.nobody's travelling (well,as least as much for non-business),so the hospitality/tourist industry is hurting.hence no jobs.

there will probably be more guys like the one in providence.
there but for the grace go we all.

another cat needing help:

(picture does not show injuries-this cat has open wounds)

This poor boy is located at a vet clinic in Hamilton, IL. The county doesn’t help with cats so when the animal control told the teenagers there was nothing he could do to help, they brought this boy into my vets office. He was found in horrible condition with the skin on his stomach hanging off and his skin is falling off in pieces. No money, stray cat with no owner.....he didn’t have many options. It is believed he was hit by a car and drug underneath it. He is incredibly friendly and outgoing, even in the shape he is in. Now what is going to become of him…euthanasia, turned loose back to the streets????? These kids that brought him in can’t take him or pay the bill, with no animal control here for cats this Tom needs your help. He is expected a full recovery so please if you can help donate towards his bill you can call vet office Hancock Veterinary Clinic, at 217-847-3911 or if you can rescue him, please contact Westhancockk9@mchsi.com. Transport to Chicago is available!!
