I don't really agree with you about all of this. Everyone has their own journey, but we are not so different. We are all just people. I think your view is actually closer to patronizing--well, by definition it takes a view that, while being nice to them, that these people are less equal, which is exactly what patronizing is. But you are right about that homeless statistic for Americans. I personally can't even believe it is right given what I have seen with my own eyes--and I've been to those countries, and volunteered at homeless shelters in America.
