Another installment was released today on the front page of the child runaways and prostitutes that are living among the homeless in America. It was yet another sad story to read, because we just don't realize it or even think about it as we go on with our lives daily as we have access to plenty of food, drinks and shelter. This kind of story just hits you with factual text and intense quotes and evidence that you can't help feeling sorry for these children, and ignorant that it's happening everywhere in this country. Yesterday's issue addressed the child runaways part of the problem, and today's issue mainly focused on the fact that a lot of runaway female children, usually between ages 12-17, sell their bodies for sex in order to make money and maintain a place to stay. It really is sad, but a good way to become knowledgeable on the fact that this is happening, and that there is always something we can do to help reduce it little by little.
Another piece of information that I thought was just interesting was the story on the front page about the former chief of A.I.G, the insurance company that fell through and almost went completely bankrupt. Now, Maurice Greenberg has fought his way back up into the ranks of the elite insurance company owners within the country once again, rivaling his former company. This could be a bad thing though, as A.I.G is paid for primarily by taxpayers, which was in an effort to save the millions of people who owned an insurance plan with the company. If Greenberg takes down his former insurance titan, then taxpayers will have lost out on a great deal of money, and many people will be without insurance. Is this the best idea you have, former chief Greenberg?
