Where Would We Be Without Books?
Prior to the printing press, all writing was done on parchment or scrolls. Those who had wealth or owned property was able to afford a personal tutor.
So literacy was limited, and confined to the church, the aristocracy, and the ruling classes.
But without mass literacy, internal development, growth, and culture stagnated.
Which was why the Dark Ages lasted so long.

Homelessness In New York City-I Experienced It Personally!
I was homeless, (really homeless) for eight months.
And I lived in a Chinese Slum Lord building on 8th avenue, for $100.00 dollars per week.
A Communal toilet and Bath, and my neighbors were old, drug users, losers, and misfits that were on Welfare.
I stayed there because I could not afford a Higher Rental. Until I found something better later.
EIGHT MONTHS Of Noise, Filth, and Fear for my life.
So I know what I am talking about.

“Celebrating Footballer Lionel Messi’s Achievements.”
Lionel Messi’s arrival at La Masia started a new generation and era of football at FC Barcelona.
He prowess, agility, personal skills with the ball at his feet, and his ability to score goals almost 90% of the time. Makes him a very special person.
And when he retires from FC Barcelona, there will never be another individual with such attainments, and goals scored for a very long time to come. He is a living legion!
Messi have scored 555 goals for Barca now. And still counting.
And 6000 goals or more for La Liga.

Most Humans Were Never Free!
Before the advent of Religion and Political philosophies, humans did what pleases them.
Loved whom they wanted regardless of gender, and lived with whom they wanted. All of this was quite normal.
Except those who owned land and property, owned or enslaved those who did not.
Today this attitude still pervades most cultures without any end in sight.

Wheel Chair Customers!
Many stores and other businesses ignore the fact, that volumes of people cannot patronage their business because they are unable to get in.
Or if they do get in, are unable to reach certain items on the top shelves.
And lots of stores these days cut back on floor staff, making it very difficult for any customer to get assistance when required.
Plus, most of the isles are too narrow for wheelchair users to meander within or around them.
