please rememeber that most professional people are not going to rent a basement room that you have to share the washroom with 17 more people and chrage $600 a month for rent.

I am a social worker in my everyday life. i work with people living with HIV/AIDS Who are homeless. i have a client who was kicked out o fhis apartment as teh landlord found out that my client was HIV+. i just called a landlord to get the client a new place. this place was rooming house and teh landlord told me that he has had problems with people on social assistance. i then informed him that he is operating a rooming house and people on social assistance is what he is going to get. the landlord said that this is to bad and he will not rent the place to my client.

So tomorrow i am calling the city to complain that this boarding house which gets funding from teh government is not willing to rent to peopel on social assistance.

This is just my little Rant for the day. i usually don't rant here. remember in this time while most of us on thinking about voting that issues like this (no matter which side yoru on) is what really matters. let get it together people and build a better world not just for the future but also for the present.

    Amen!

    Let's also vote to build a better world not just for ourselves but also for the other people with whom we share the world.

    Until the night falls, and you don a mask, and fight crime.:p

    Seriously though - it's sad that quibbling over the use of the word "pansy" makes the news before stories like this.
