raining today, so the babbling homeless were inside starbucks 9where i was working and reading after lunch) and one was sitting really close, babbling to himself.
I couldn't tune it out -- always assumed they babble about war flashbacks, nonsense, or hooch. This guy? the spanish revolution.
I kid you not -- he's a few bricks shy of a full load, and a few decades shy of the 1930's when it happened, but what little i know... he had to have been an expert before his brain blew up. amazing, sad, and a waste

Wow, I'm a bit aghast at the attitude portrayed in your statement. Hopefully you didn't mean to be so disrespectful of this poor fellow. There are so many things to say about what might have happened to this guy that could have driven him to such a point, and what's worse is you know nothing about him. It's one thing to say that someone has simply wasted their own life if you that is the fact. If you are anything like the way your statement reads, then I would venture to say that you are the waste, for lack of compassion. A clearer example of the self-centered nature of our era is hard to find so freely given.
