Hej Kai
Det var en intressant artikel du hänvisar till i din kommentar på Martin Rs blogg. Jag läste den.
Jag har bott i USA ett tag och till julen fick vi en förfrågan om vi kunde skänka något till de fattiga. Kabnske några konservburkar som förlorat etiketterna eller liknande. Så hemskt...Jag förstod inte att det mitt i allt detta fanns så fattiga människor förrän då...
Jo. Jag jobbade en period i Seattle som sannerligen inte är en av de värre platserna man kan bo på men även där fick jag känna mig olustig när jag såg köerna till Frälsis soppkök på morgonen.
Vad som gjorde det än mer chockartat var att det på den tiden inte fanns några tiggare i Stockholm, men nu finns de här också och det känns inte bra. Jag håller på och skriver på en artikel om det, men har inte riktigt hittat formen på den.
