Sometimes I feel like I am incapable of coming up with an original thought. BUT I can certainly recognize good ones when I see them in print. I became aware of some weighty views while reading the sequel to Same Kind of Different as Me. They are the thoughts of Denver Moore, a man with first-hand experience of living homeless—not for a week, or a month, but for many years. Not only that, but he grew up as a sharecropper up until the 1960s and let me tell you, if you think slavery in America ended with the Civil War, take a look at the living conditions of sharecroppers in the 20th century U.S.A. You would be shocked.
