meet jeremy. he did everything right. he had a good job. he paid his taxes. he isn’t a drug addict or crazy. he is just another casualty of free market capitalism.

we will, at some point, move beyond ideologies that idealize the poor or demonize them. we will, at some point, no longer be able to see the jobless/homeless as “the other.” the other who must not have as good a work ethic as we do, who if they would just work hard enough they too could have a piece of the american dream.

or maybe not. maybe we will carry on the way we have and some will rise on the casualties of our battle for the almighty dollar and in process destroy not only the other but our selves as well.

god speed jeremy.
