When no one's looking: the lives of runaway teens

I'm pretty sure these are the lucky, privileged runaways, which is a very weird concept. For those of you interested in healthcare reform, here is yet another story about a family displaced through medical bill bankruptcy.

I watched the documentary on money as debt.

Meanwhile there is argument about healthcare.

You cannot support any means of life for long with a banking industry that is for profit and based on debt.

I've known few of these types. More power to them if they can survive. Make your own way and fuck the rest.


The quieter you become the more you can hear.

Look around next time you walk out of the house quiet the mind and you will see things not seen before. It's called noticing.

Once when I was in Uni I came up with a plan to save money for a party by eating probably ~70g pasta, and a 1 cup of porridge a day for about 4 days.

By the 4th day I was just lying on my bed starving and exhausted - and utterly demotivated. I had about $2 in change handy, and decided I wanted to walk to the shops to buy something - but I couldnt be stuffed because I felt so ratshit.

Going a week without food would be ROUGH. You'd feel shakey whenever you would stand, let along walking somewhere.

I know this isn't the most important thing here, but it drives me crazy that all these dirt-poor homeless kids are smoking cigarettes. Cigarettes are expensive. How much better could they eat if they weren't buying cigarettes?

Every homeless person I know is a smoker. Usually they bum em off people but occasionally they steal or purchase them with change they also bum off people. If you get an educated person with more motivation, this situation will likely NOT occur. These are uneducated, unmotivated kids who have picked up a lot of habits (like smoking), are usually mentally f'ed by the parents that neglected or beat them, and don't know any better. Richie Rich gave up his riches, made a fishing pole, learned to fish, caught fish and remade all his millions with a fishing company. He was educated and motivated. Of course he was also a comic book character. If only life were that simple.
