watched i-witness last night, the feature documentary for their anniversary special was about filipinos in new york.. homeless, that is.. to quote -- "stark evidence that not everyone in America has achieved the American dream". they do not have the job to support their living.

Teddy, a Filipino in New York said something like: "there is no difference in living in a palace, in a condo or in a box (he was sleeping in a box in a cold sidewalk) as we all feel the same pain, the same heartaches and feel the same happiness as well."
