On the ride back from the M's game today (1-0 heartbreaker to the LA-California-Anaheim Angels -- A team that has moved three times while only using the moving vans once) we were on the $2.50 Metro shuttle heading up 5. Twice on the ride up the woman sitting next to me comments on "the homeless" in the way someone comments on "the pigeons" or "the kangaroos." Maybe more like if you saw kangaroos crossed with flying rats. "Look at the homeless!" like they're both exotic and highly undesirable.
That annoyed me. Say what you will about them, but they are people. On a related note, there were these two morons who decided being homeless meant getting a cardboard box and some Mad Dog.
