In a recent interview, when asked by Larry King of CNN as to what Tipper's primary cause will be if she becomes the next First Lady, she said she will champion the cause of mentally ill especially the homeless and forgotten ones.
I really admire her for choosing such a politically unpopular cause; an unrewarding goal. Why should politicians care about these homeless and forgotten sector of our society? They usually do not vote and even if they want to, some states do not allow them to.
While those big oil magnates comfortably and cozily dine/sleep in their own warm mansions tonite, the poor, forgotten and homeless mentally ill, with hunger pangs, will crowd themselves in the "warmest" corner of a street, bridge, park, etc.
Finally, someone is listening to the message of these "voiceless" human beings. Are you?
