Hermit is such a word that softens the edges of thief --if this guy exists by taking from others this is wrong. If people know of this person and care ===the milk of human kindness must flow to this guy. why don't they bring him things, so he doesn't have to forage like a Ferrel cat. He probably contributes to the demise of song birds by trapping them and eating them too. This is a sad story of a man who has abandoned an obligation to look after his mother -- the threads of family have been teased apart, a reflection of society that sees dysfunction on tv and considers it normal, DDAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6559692.post-22910435409074219372013-06-14T10:19:22.442-04:002013-06-14T10:19:22.442-04:00If you have heard of OJ Simpson you have heard of ...If you have heard of OJ Simpson you have heard of the lawyer that fathered some of the youngsters. oops I have said too much.
