I definitely love my life way too much. We are super fortunate to be brought in to the life we have, and I am truly appreciative. I agree with you and Eighner also about people and waste. Too many people over consummate, over eat, over keep; ever watched Hoarders?
I just wanted to point out to you that you should re-read your entries a couple times before you post them, just a few errors to look out for! Other than that it's a great post:)

I enjoyed reading your blog. You did well in pointing out all aspects with the emotional, ethical and logical appeal this article has. It is true that we should not be so quick to judge these people who are homeless and rely on dumpster diving for survival. You never know the life stories these people have had and what exactly it was that brought them to their unfortunate scenario.
