		<description>We believe that because somebody has messed up their lives in the past to get better must be also hard and a punishment for what they did, that's why society finds it hard to accept programs like this because they want some sort of "justice" or retribution. I support that as well Mark and I think it's important to speak out for what you believe in</description>

		<description>I know you don't know this, Frank (posted below) and I hope it is ok for me to say this.  Referring to homeless people as 'the homeless' is kind of like referring to people as 'the crippled' or 'the insane'.   They might not always be crippled, or insane, or homeless, but they will always be people.  So...how about 'homeless people', instead?   Thanks Frank, and others, who really don't know.</description>

		<description>Still in love with you &amp; your story, Mark. If more people asked, 'how can I help you?' without expecting anything in return the world would be a much better place.

Thanks for setting the example :)</description>
