By all means I don't disagree with what you are saying at all, in fact I'm agreeing. I just think that Americans see so many homeless people they become numb to the fact, where as soon as they see a hurting animal everyone goes nuts trying to help. Look at those ASPCA commercials or the ones with the kids in foreign countries, they make sure to show you substandard living conditions and play sad music so you feel bad. I doubt they'd profit as much by showing video's of homeless people in America with that same music heh
