    I watched 60 Minutes last night, a piece about families living out of their cars...children living out of cars! I could see resignation in eyes not old enough to undrestanding the meaning of the word. I know what those children are going through: the rejection, the dirty feeling that no gas station restroom can wash off, the long drawn out sighs that become a regular part of daily life. To fall beneath the bottom line of society and crawl through the garbage is, in my book, a walk up the gallows and a long stare at the noose. You never forget it. No matter resilent you are.

    We can't stop a grown up from self destructive behaivor. I know this. But we cannot call ourselves humane while children are forced to stare at that dreadful noose day after day.

    I heard that prior to Avatar, Sam Worthington lived in his car.

    Yeah I remember hearing about that too... And he kind of mentiones something on the bluray CE somewhere I remember, when he talks about the first time James actually called him, he was like, 'SURE! I'm coming!' I'm so happy he was picked, he's just a great person and totally deserved this part

    I don't have any real opinion on homelessness. In Australia it isn't a noticable issue in the vast majority of cities. Even when I was living on one of the major cities I only saw one person I thought could have been homeless, but even then I wasn't sure.

    The advantages of a more social system I guess.
